This post is nothing more than a pointer to a cute story which will waste maybe 5 min of your employers time.
Mr. Dennehy and nine of his friends have spent the past 23 years locked in a game of "Tag."
It started in high school when they spent their morning break darting around
the campus of Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, Wash. Then they moved on—to
college, careers, families and new cities. But because of a reunion, a contract
and someone's unusual idea to stay in touch, tag keeps pulling them closer. Much
closer.
The game they play is fundamentally the same as the schoolyard version: One
player is "It" until he tags someone else. But men in their 40s can't easily
chase each other around the playground, at least not without making people
nervous, so this tag has a twist. There are no geographic restrictions and the
game is live for the entire month of February. The last guy tagged stays "It"
for the year.
That's right, these 9 guys waste tons of time and money paying a grown up game of tag one month a year. You only waste time reading blogs at work. See what you could achieve with a little effort?
Seems to me that I recall someone challenging somebody else to a friendly game of paintball King Of The Mountain out in the wilds of Wyoming, once upon a time....
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem too much different than that, on the face of it.
