Spent last Sunday getting nautical and having fun with friends as we cruised the Potomac for the first-ever RoundTable Boat Party.
It was a perfect Fall day to enjoy some adult beverages, charcuterie and great company. It was also the first time meeting some people in-person, even though we have been working together for years in a virtual, post-covid environment.
Leading up to the event, I requested that everyone contribute to the boat party playlist and submit three of their favorite songs; any genre, any time period, just needed to be a reason why it holds favorite song status.
It couldn’t have been a better ice-breaker, trying to guess which song went with which person. Hearing the backstory of why they were selected and then discovering the different memories invoked amongst the group.
BTW - Wonderwall easily had the most collective memories associated with it, with three of those specifically involving late nights at a local watering hole, in "fill in the blank" European country, where the entire establishment broke out into a giant singalong when Wonderwall came over the speakers.
Couldn’t have been a more perfect afternoon and can’t wait until the next one… because it has been made very clear to me by those involved, that this is going to be an annual tradition.
I appreciate you all and thank you for blurring the lines of work and personal life. Consequences of surrounding yourself with amazing people.
