What RTB Means To Us

for the first time in seven years, i find myself at work on the morning of the second friday after labor day. the rest of the team is already in motion, assembling, meeting or remeeting eachother and heading toward cannon mountain. many of our team members are new to rtb this year, so i thought i would pluck some blog posts from past rtbs, from team members that werent able to make it this year, that really did a great job of summing up what makes this weekend so special each year. i wouldnt say rtb is like christmas, but it does somethimes feel like thanksgiving, what with all the family that youre happy to see, even if they annoy you, and, of course, the sheer excess of overdoing it...

...and one smidgen of reality check

a note of frustration.. blogger, for some reason, doesnt recognize this part of the screen as a typable space and wont acknowledge my keypads shift or alt key, thus i cannot capitalize, type numbers, and have only period and comma as punctuation. i also cannot select text to create a link. buzzkill, i know.

...anyway, there is a link to our oh.eight rtb blog over in the right.hand column. i meant to link to lee pollock.s post from sept twenty.one, oh.eight. that blog has a link to the oh.seven blog, where you can find ruby.s mom.s post from sept seventeenth, oh.seven. i was gonna wrap up with a link to the comments on my own post, titled .one hundred and ten percent,. from the oh.seven blog. i will fix these links the next time i am at a computer that doesnt have the blogger site blocked. for now, it.ll just be choose your own, er, follow my, adventure.y.
