Sat on the roof today

Our first attempt to feed all 86 employees ended in disaster, having calculated an average of 2.5 slices of pizza each. The first wave of a hungry work force averaged 4 slices on thier plates, leaving the rest of the crew […]
Saw a photograph in a bar, went inside to capture it.
