For $400 for the day you were suppose to be able to take out any car on a racetrack and race it for as long as you wished. I thought it was for sure too good to be true... so when I got to the place of business I asked about it... they informed me that no.. that was not the case.. it was just merely to rent the car like a normal rental to see if you wanted to purchase the car. I scoffed and said $400?? I could go to any rental agency and spend a fraction for the day and that that's how I came to buy my car when I did ... after renting and driving it for a couple days when my other car was in the shop. One of the two guys there said they are reasonable cause now other agencies charge $1400... I interrupted him and exclaimed "Since when?!?!"... he though for a moment and said since November... Hmm.. ok... so I cancelled my reservation cause I wasn't interested in buying a new car... all I really wanted to do was drive one with some power around on a race track for the day.

Former VP turned Director treated us to a full sized strawberry shortcake with heavy cream for some executive meeting that was being held in, of all places, my childhood bedroom in the house I grew up in. We were doing some roundtable discussions and I had something I had wanted to address but one of the 2 liquors used in making this cake (I think it was Grand Marnier) was kicking in and making my memory fuzzy... so I thanked him for the cake and then the visual turned cinematic... the camera came in through my bedroom window and paned around the room as I watched other coworkers just going to town eating at minimum half of the huge cake we were each provided even the strawberries were over-sized and quite heavy.
