The Roundarch Isobar Chicago office has started to do monthly “Lightening Talks” as a way to get to know each other better and to give people presentation practice outside of client settings. Anyone in the office can volunteer on just about any topic. They get five minutes and can use slides or not use slides, some had props. Our first session was last month and it was so fun. Pizza and beer was ordered, the talks were held at 4 p.m., and the topics covered really varied. Some were work related and some were not, but in any case it was fun to all get together and learn about each other more. So excited to have more Lightening Talks. I’m volunteering for the next one, but my topic is a secret :)

Last week Roundarch Isobar had a summer social event in the Goose Island beer garden tent in Millennium Park. There was an open bar adn catered appetizers and also a beer expert on hand to guide us through a tasting of four specialty Goose Island beers. The beer garden was just east of the Pritzker Pavilion where an Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Tribute was playing. Some people went to see the band up close, but most of us enjoyed the music from afar. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time beer tasting, listening to the music and just hanging out.

I have even more photos that I’ll share in another post.

Getting ready for dinner.

This is the 7th year that we have gone to Doug and Naoko’s Labor Day barbecue. We drove from the Lake House to the barbecue and only could stay for a few hours because Dallas had Josh’s birthday dinner to go to that night. Even though our visit was short, it was great to see everyone and catch up. .. see how big the kids had gotten. Always bigger than expected, right?

Doug & Naoko like to have a Labor Day party every year. Here are some photos from years past:

- 2005: we played a lot of horseshoes
- 2006: Jordan brought fresh smoked salmon from Alaska. He’d just been on a trip there.
- 2007: No Party? Or just no photo or post?
- 2008: Lots of kids. First year I noticed that?
- 2009: Also celebrated Aunty Gail’s retirement. One more photo from that year.
- 2010: Doug & Naoko have a new house
- 2011:Two new babies – Eddy and Ty – and Caroline and Danny expecting one more.

Fire pit, where the play gym used to be.

Over the weekend my brother had a barbecue at his house. I hadn’t been up to his house for a visit since Christmas, so I wanted to make sure to go. The weather was a little hot at first, but then cooled to comfortable temperature. I played a game of bocce with Jess and played bags with my brother and his friends. Steph had band until 3 and then invited a few friends over. Like typical teenagers, they mostly hung around each other, away from the rest of the party, except when Sheila infiltrated every now and then! My brother and his friends also played beersbee, which I thought at first was the frisbie game, but is not. My brother accidentally made the hamburgers, frisbee style, the way my dad makes them, but redid the batch. Those frisbee burgers would have worked out well for the beersbee game! It was fun to hang out and relax and meet some more of my brother’s friends.
