This morning started out with a BOOM!...and then quite a few more. We had a lot of thunder and rain to start out the day. We had a lot of rain and fog to end the day. Still, despite the wet weather, the Jordan Pond House was hopping. As I always say, not much better to do on a rainy day than eat popovers.
After work I went on a "workout" run. I ran for 2 minutes at an easy pace and then 1 minute at a pretty good clip. I repeated that 9 times. I averaged 8 minute miles so I think my easy periods were awfully slow and my up-tempo minutes were awfully fast. Kind of a fun run...once it was over.
Tonight was the all-company BBQ over at the company-housing apartments north of Bar Harbor. The rain didn't let up for the event, but we made the best of things by setting up a homemade slip-and-slide. I didn't go on it, but there were some pretty funny people who did. For whatever reason the maintenance guys were super into it. Dinner consisted of delicious pulled pork, mediocre brats, excellent potato salad, awesome baked beans, and average coleslaw. I really enjoyed getting to hang out and talk with some of the other restaurant folks. It's amazing how little time we have to chat and get to know each other while we are at work. Actually, come to think of it, I suppose that makes sense. There are just so many different jobs and roles we each engage in to make the restaurant work. As Brian, one of the managers says, we are a collection of "ordinary people working in an extraordinary place."
Today's picture of the day is the foggy and rainy afternoon sky. In other words, a classic Maine day.
