Coasters, baby! Coasters! After a long afternoon slog at Knoll Inc we went to Cedar Fair's Dorney Park-brand amusement park to ride roller coasters. Dorney has a pretty good evening pass that allowed us five hours of discounted weeknight coasterfun. Jenelle, Ryan and I went up, down, upside down, and downside up through some pretty serious metal thrill rides. From Hydra's lazy, utterly non-centrifugal death roll out of the station to Steel Force's 205-foot, 75 mph main drop and three humped return track, we rode them all twice. Then, we rode two very slow trains around the park to see the sights and called it a night. Back in Macungie Ryan said "yup, we did it right." Right on. We had Jenelle's couscous, chicken, and broccoli salad for dinner and only bought a 25c bag of cotton candy in the park. After over four hours we were ready to head out anyway, so nightfall was the perfect time to go.
At work today, a company-sponsored lunch. The corporation bought pizza for customer resources, hoagies for finance, and because we're part of customer resources but each lunch in finance Ryan and I had both. This afternoon we're setting up the two parallel pilot programs we've got going next week, then it's ciao ciao and see you Monday.
