Like most folks who have office jobs, I do many different things from day to day. Some days I write code. Some days I fix broken software. Some days I create documentation. Some days it seems I do nothing but attend meetings.
Some days, and these days are rare, mind you, some days I get into a luxury bus with my entire team and head up into the mountains for a picnic, and some hiking.

Some days it is very easy to go to work.
A couple weeks ago our team did just that - headed to Grandfather Mountain for a picnic, and taking in some scenery.
Grandfather Mountain lies in the Blue Ridge Mountains, about an hour from where I live. It is an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which means lots of land, and lots of animals, both in the wild, and in captivity.
They have a small zoo on site, featuring animals found in the area, like this bald eagle.

It is easy to see why these mountains got the name Blue Ridge, eh?
So that was how I started my first work week in October. How did yours go?
