Or: How I learned to participate in a work outing

Here's a portion of Thompson Island, which is one of the many in the Boston Harbor area. My department had an outing there and as a fairly new member, I really wanted to participate. But I don't play sports. Never have; never will. The thought of running around in the hot sun trying to throw a ball, hit it with a bat or any one of my body parts just does not appeal to me. Call me a lazy slob, but I just prefer to labled as a "girly girl".

So how'd I particpate withough playing a sport? I took pictures!

Did you know...

That Thompson Island is an Outward Bound trainining center? I'm sure your life will be better now that you know that.

Here's a shot of the campus. Looks thrilling, huh?

So close yet so far...

To give you an idea of how close this island is to Boston, here's a shot of Boston as seen from Thompson Island.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:A short boat ride from Boston
  • Cons:More than a day trip would probably be boring...
  • In a nutshell:A great get-away so close to the city!
