I can't seem to get motivated this afternoon. I had a nice, long lunch at Pierpont's this afternoon with some past co-workers. We all try to get together once every month, or so, to see each other and keep current. We always seem to end up at the same place...though definitely not a bad thing. Pierpont's is an upscale restaurant specializing in steak and seafood. Everyone was able to show up today. It was really great to see them. As an added bonus, a retired co-worker was also able to join us. Afterwards, since we were all stuffed and needed to move, plus the fact it is a beautiful Fall day, we walked a couple blocks over to the Crown Center branch of UMB Bank where I use to work. I was able to see a couple more past co-workers. Was great to see everyone, but I am so glad I no longer work for that organization. It was very political and divided when I was there about five years ago and now seems even more so. All in all, a very good day. I am now ready for a nap.
