  Food Groups I had my monthly today. Monthly staff luncheon, that is. Once a month our entire department (all 12 of us) goes out to lunch to celebrate birthdays. We descended upon the buffet at Ryan’s Steakhouse like locusts to a cornfield. We gathered around, elbow-to-elbow, at our table for ten with two extra chairs crammed in, and somehow we got off on the subject of bands and singers with food in their names. Oh my word, did we laugh and laugh at this silly game.
We spent over an hour eating and discussing this and that and the other and every few minutes someone would shout out, Fiona APPLE ! or Blue OYSTER Cult ! MEATLOAF ! KORN ! And the funny thing was that we would be having a serious conversation and then suddenly, the person speaking would just stop mid-sentence and shout, Smashing PUMPKINS ! and then continue on with what they were saying.
Oh man…I guess you just had to be there. And the fun hasn’t stopped since we’ve returned to the office. Oh no...we’re playing this silly game via email now: LEMONHEADS! BLIND MELON! NENAH CHERRY! Ya gotta love Fridays around this place…
