If you aren’t aware of the unique qualities of Falafel Software, here’s one for the archives.  Falafelites are located across 4 time zones in California, Colorado, Texas, and Michigan, and through each other we get to experience lives beyond our own.  Someone is always sharing a cool story about what’s going on in their little world, and it is interesting to see how we can all morph from day-time (and sometimes night-time) developers or trainers into weekend warriors of such different types.

Among other things, we get to enjoy awe-inspiring photography, hear the surf, mountain biking, or maybe snowboarding reports, watch storm-chasing video and follow an Olympic hopeful fencer win tournament after tournament.

Me?  I spend my weekends on our working cattle ranch with my husband. I wonder, is writing Silverlight and WPF applications the exact opposite of calf-wrangling and chasing down a set of newborn twin calves to bottlefeed on the ranch?

Thanks Falafel, for letting me enjoy two so different slices of life.
