Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning


October 13, 2006: GMS on Friday 13th
Many surprises

GMS is not just a special place. It is a very special place. We have great leadership, we have an achievable goal and along the way we have fun. Today, sitting in my office, I thought I was really out of touch. While listening to WCPE (our RDU classical music station) I heard the distinct sounds of a saxophone. What is happening. Bob was in my office and we both scratched our heads. So - we executed the first law of GMS: Chase your curiosity". So following the Sax sounds - we found Yvonne next door being serenaded with new yellow flowers. Clearly her secret ... knows how to deliver the a surprise.

Then Bob's Chili Palace opened at our outdoor dining area. Bob, to be seconded by no one, prepared Chili for today's lunch. Chicken chili and beef chili. Not too spicy - but yum yum with corn chips and grated cheese. What Ellen will do to me when I tell this story. So here is the story.
