MJM Books is back and better than ever thanks to our family outing/corporate retreat backpacking in the Colorado Rockies. We got a lot accomplished.
Team Building Exercise “Fallen Comrade”: Our challenge, carry a full cooler of tasty beverages, steaks, and bratwurst into the high country without dying of exhaustion.

No, my left! My left!
Outcome: Success. On the second day, we learned that we were famous. “We heard you guys brought a cooler way up here!”
Team Building Exercise “Orienteering”: The boys at MJM have a long history of veering off the trail. Will they stay the course or blaze a new path?

I thought YOU had the map.
Outcome: We’re not lost. We’re just misplaced.
Team Building Exercise “Brainstorming”: Without distractions like phones, TV, or running water, the brain trust meets to discuss the future.
Outcome: Success. We’ve charted a course that we hope to follow a little more closely than that silly trail map. Among the issues discussed: expanding our catalogue and “Fun Stuff” offerings.
Team Building Exercise “Extreme Winter Survival”: It’s supposed to be warm in August, right? Looks like no one told the weather. That’s right, white stuff falling on August 8th!

Are you serious?!
Outcome: A negligible amount of Frostbite.
Overall, our outing was a huge success. To get the family together and to expose little Olivia to this…
Made it all worthwhile.
Bye!
