How come the woman isn't allowed to take her purse, but Willie Wonka can bring his hat?

Do you ride the whole way to work? If so, how long does it take? (We live and work near each other. I'm thinking about riding my bike.)

I do ride the whole way to work when there is enough daylight... right now it is still dark in the morning so I use lightrail. Hopefully I will be getting a good light soon so I can ride in the dark. It takes about 30 minutes.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like it takes about an extra 10-15 minutes to get home as compared to driving.

Do you have a road or mountain bike?

Today the soup at the cafeteria was listed on the sign as "Chowda"

I had lunch at Casa de Eppie's, it's a mexican restaurant that used to be an Eppie's, I don't know the real name, my co-workers are the ones that refer to it as Casa de Eppie's. 2 female co-workers are celebrating their B-day, we always get pics of B-day people there wearing big Sombrero's (glad my co-workers don't know when my B-day is).

The Wisdom in Hot Chocolate!!!!


A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives.

Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said:
Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.

While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

The cup that you ‘re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups.

And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position
in society are the cups.

They are just tools to hold and contain life.

The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality
of life you have.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us.

God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups.

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything.

They just make the best of everything that they have.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And enjoy your hot chocolate!!
