I’m sitting in Sky Harbor Airport awaiting my flight to Toronto. A few minutes ago I said goodbye to my cousins and their super cute two-year-old daughter as they boarded their own flight back home. It was a fun weekend out here in Phoenix. I picked them up from the airport on Saturday morning, we […]
So I’m a Project Runway fan. My addiction began a few years ago when I was visiting my cousins over Fourth of July, and we beat the heat for a bit, watching some episodes during a marathon on Bravo. The latest season on Lifetime has been okay. I’ll agree with most reviewers and say the judging has been […]
After a few great days of presenting at Bret Harte High School, I ended up back in my rental car with a long drive to the airport yesterday. I listened to the latest podcast of This American Life, and then decided to go deeper into my iPhone and played music from The Who’s Tommy. I […]
A good friend of mine shipped off to Afghanistan today. He’ll be there for the next six months serving as an Air Force pilot on a variety of important missions. He’s one of the three pilots I interviewed for my upcoming chapter in that leadership book I’ve alluded to in my emails. I’m always impressed […]
I’ve been really busy over the past few days, preparing for a few events I’m coordinating for my Alumni Chapter at Arizona State University. Last night we had the first of two receptions–the second taking place in just a few hours. I’m definitely tired right not, but in a really good way. In high school […]
So I’m typing this blog on Tuesday in the minutes before my flight back to the US. Yesterday, I flew into Toronto from Chicago, Illinois. It’s my first visit to Toronto, and the city is AMAZING. I’m honestly a little bit bummed to leave so soon. I’ll definitely find a way to come back here […]
I spent this past weekend at the Tony Robbins’ Unleash The Power Within event just outside Chicago. The four day event focused on transforming oneself into a more fully realized person. I know that most people have a negative association with Tony, built up after years of seeing him on late-night informercials. I’ll admit I […]
I spent the past few days in the Pacific Northwest, presenting some half-day leadership programs for Link Crew. I love speaking at these events, and I love it even more being up in Oregon and Washington at this time as year. As much as I like aspects of Phoenix, I miss autumn. We just don’t […]
My house in Arizona is on the far west side of Phoenix, almost Glendale. The surrounding sports facilities really contributed to my purchase. It’s less than four miles from my front door to the entrance of the University of Phoenix Stadium, the home field of the Arizona Cardinals, the location of the Fiesta Bowl, and […]
So baseball playoffs are going on right now. It’s been quite some time since that really made me excited; the strike affected a lot of my feelings as a fan and my childhood love of the game. I still attend games from time to time, but I no longer follow the sport on a day […]
