I am off to Nepal.
The following e-mail exchange should explain it all.

I am trying to develop a wellness program for the company. We have contracted with the unit at Affiliate Company that provides services in this area and will make an announcement on that in the near future. We are also trying to get some additional programs in place to promote exercise and physical fitness.
Our landlord, H&S, owns the tennis club that is located to the rear of the building. One of the ideas we have had is to try to see if we can get a set number of memberships at the club that could be used by Company employees. Before we make the request and before we try to push, I wanted to see what, if any, the level of interest would be. If interested, please send me an e-mail.
We are also going to try to get a group discount to Super Awesome 24h Gym With Locations Near Marisa’s Home and Office and Also Has a Swimming Pool.
I can't promise that we will be successful in these, but if we have buying power as a group it provides some leverage and is worth a try.
I would be open to other ideas as well.
Thanks,
CEO

I would absolutely love to get in on a group discount to Super Awesome 24h Gym With Locations Near Marisa’s Home and Office and Also Has a Swimming Pool.
The tennis ... not so much ... That fluorescent yellow ball just isn't big enough to withstand my frustrations!
Thank you!
((To tell the truth, I’m really not terribly well coordinated, and so have never been a big fan of sports in which small projectiles are launched in the direction of my body with great speed. But I don’t make a habit of sharing random weaknesses with my superiors. That honor is yours, dear blog-lings.))

We need to send you to a mountaintop in Nepal and let you get in touch with your inner spirit.

I’m game! Sadly, I have had trouble obtaining funding for the "finding myself" experiment. Apparently, getting in touch with your inner spirit doesn't pay very well. I don’t remember being advised of this in college.

If you are enough in touch you don't need money!

I tried to pay my loans using dreams and aspirations, but the payments were returned NSF.

If you go to a mountaintop in Nepal the bill collectors can't find you.

For those of you keeping track at home, Blake used to be a member of Super Awesome 24h Gym With Locations Near Marisa’s Home and Office and Also Has a Swimming Pool. But he cancelled his membership when he came out of retirement.

Have fun in Asia! If you see Cane while he's walking the earth, get his autograph for me.
Waitaminnite! Nepal is in Asia?!? Who knew??
Hey, lookeethere, you snuck in another Blake shoutout! Woot! I think you should have asked CEO (strange name, by the way) if that constituted a written order to change your work location. :) Worth a try!
