Last week we had a 37signals retreat in Kohler, Wisconsin (the company that makes faucets and plumbing fixtures also has a resort). We got to catch up, plan ahead, meet the newest members of the team, took the Kohler factory tour (some pretty amazing stuff happens to get those faucets, tubs, and toilets made), dined at a cabin in the woods, made lots of trips to Sheboygan to eat at the excellent restaurants of chef Stefano Viglietti, and went canoeing.

And by the way, contrary to popular belief, this is NOT how 37signals handles feature requests…
