Sally learned this today:
A small cup of tea or coffee on a pod machine = a REALLY tiny cup of coffee. Like, 6 ounces. Re-evaluate what makes something big or small BEFORE you hit the button.

Breakfast Everywhere!
On a very early morning at Logan, Sally learned that you don’t actually need to haul over to another terminal to find breakfast somewhere traditional, such as Dunkin’ Donuts. It turns out that every vendor serves breakfast! Including Boston Beerworks, and way beyond beer.
“Yum Plus One”
That’s what Doug calls his “recipe” and I learned this at a staff meeting.
He takes Panera’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup, and then crumbles potato chips (I think they may have been Sour Cream and Onion) on top.
It looked amazing.
Are You Fit?

I went to the Go Red for Women luncheon and heard a great speaker, link below, and she told us about this government sponsored online fitness test, above. Let me know if you take it! Post here!

Sweet Solution
I learned, from the Dana-Farber newsletter, DFCIonline, that the Jimmy Fund Clinic (where kids go for outpatient cancer treatment) always needs candy for the concierge desk.
This year they put out an appeal for our leftover Halloween candy. All I had to do was drop it at the main desk. They were happy and it was out of our house – WIN /WIN!
Barbara’s Cocoa
This is Barbara’s cocoa. Isn’t it beautiful? She taught me that you can only get free cocoa with your Panera card IF you register it! Plus they know your name every time, automatically. That’s fun! Unless you are a privacy nut. And we are not.
You never know until you try!
I learned, from Sally’s extremely cool new blog, that she she learned to not avoid exercise because of an injury she may no longer even have! The full story is here:
The Case for Exercise – of sorts
In a non-work discussion about how exposing yourself (and babies) to germs just helps build the immune system, my distance-colleague Eric shared that he has the same attitude about the health of his liver: you have to work it out to keep it fit.
Who knew? Have one for me. And another one for Eric.
Drop and give me 20…
“reps of Rolling Like a Ball”?
Sally learned that the Army is changing physical training and incorporating pilates and yoga moves, to build fitness fit for the tasks ahead, not just for the test. She said “I think there may be a lesson in here about people changing their ways and realizing the value of quality over quantity when it comes to exercise.”
