Snowball Fights and Javalina in Tucson

What you say...where the heck did you get snowballs in Tucson? 

Well, let me tell you how!

We went to Tucson for a face-to-face Team Meeting for planning our next 13 weeks of work. There were probably around 100 of us from the applications development and support team. We also had some of the team on Zoom.

We stayed in a resort (pretty fancy!)

Had some lovely meals there too - I had swordfish one night and it was superb! Appetizer was figs stuffed with blue cheese - those were yummy! 

The leader of the Team Meeting said she always wanted to have a snowball fight in Tucson  -  she found you can purchase faux snowballs! They are made of some sort of cottony material and don't hurt when thrown. She had a bowl of snowballs on each table and we had great fun tossing them around.

We had a great meeting, got lots of tasks created in the planning software.

One night when we went back to the resort and pulled into the underground garage,  the driver of the car suddenly exclaimed 'PIG!' Sure enough, there was not only one javalina (the kind of wild pig that is common in Tucson), there was a WHOLE troop of them!


I told the front desk as I went up to my room - javalina can be dangerous if confronted.
