graphs + information = learning fun

today i was treated to a meeting chock-full-of monochromatic graphs accompanied by more facts and figures than you can shake a medium weight stick at. as you know, i take pride in my ability to be fully present and come away with some little gem of knowledge from any situation.

this is what i learned today:

1. the lady next to me is skilled in the art of styrofoam cup sculpting using only her thumbnail.
2. from the conference room i have a panoramic view of an open field inhabited by two majestic hawks and one less field mouse.
3. singing puppets or dancing robots (or both) would have made the meeting memorable.
