The Boston Globe business section had a big picture and story about how putting a slide into the office building really helped morale and productivity. Unfortunately, my narrow minded employers won't put in a big slide for me despite this obvious evidence that it would improve my productivity.

Peace,

Jim

When you're too old for the swings you tend to choose the slide

It'll take you much lower than you ever would have asked 'Cause as soon as you sit down the slide has got your ass

A pile of broken souls at the bottom it denied Don't take the slide, don't take the slide

--Paul Heaton from "The Slide"
