Another trip to the Beer Engine.....

[poltr1]

Last night, some of the co-workers gathered at the Beer Engine in Lakewood to give a good send-off to someone who was leaving the company. I was there two weeks ago with some of the same co-workers to celebrate Friday evening. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite bars in town. They have at least 24 specialty brews on tap, and plenty more in bottles (and a few in cans). And the food is decent, too. I had some of their hot chicken wings and they had the authentic Buffalo flavor to them.

I also found out that one of the senior programmers on the team is only 32. Compared to him, I must be an old geezer. :-) I'm reminded of the passage in the Silicon Valley Guy Handbook that said that 35 was old age in the computer biz.

I welcome any level of human interaction with my co-workers. I don't get a lot of that during work, as programming is mostly a solitary activity, and we've got a deadline to get the code done, so we're all hunkered down.
