I’m in Reno, Nevada for the next few days attending the California Association of Directors of Activities Annual Convention. It’s a great gathering of some of my favorite people I see throughout the year including many of my friends from outside California. The convention takes place at the Grand Sierra Resort, just a short shuttle […]
So this wasn’t the blog I was intending to write today, but my day took a different twist. On the way out for an afternoon errand, I saw a dog jumping next to a person lying down on the sidewalk. It struck me as being a little bit odd, so I took an extra glance […]
It’s Friday and that means it’s time for Friday Finish, a reposting of my blogs from the previous week as well as some links to blogs that I follow. Have a great weekend! Posts by Patrick An Apology Laundry The Next 40 Days… Posts by Others The Theology of Falling (guest post featured on Donald […]
Last Friday, I had a long drive back from my speaking engagement in Many Farms, Arizona. As always I listened to a variety of podcasts including a few episodes of Freakonomics. Their Save Me From Myself episode really caught my ear, particularly the segment highlighting Adam Scott and his Cold Turkey Diaries, a YouTube series […]
I did some laundry today. It took some time, but it was pretty easy. Add detergent to the washer. Add clothes. Press start. Return later. Add clothes to dryer. Add dryer sheet. Press start. Remove. Hang or Fold. Done. This is a lot easier than laundry 100 years ago. I can’t imagine what it was […]
So it’s been close to a month since I last posted a blog entry. The month before that wasn’t too heavy on blogs either. I can list a few excuses: Sundance, the holidays, spending time with my fiancé, travel, etc. Some of those are valid–sometimes poor internet connection or a long day of travel prevents […]
I know my blogs have been pretty absent over the past week. Once again, I’m up in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. I’ll do a longer summary blog when the whole experience is over. Today, I’m took a lazy morning, not watching any films, and instead sleeping in, and doing some laundry. […]
I’m sitting in my home for the next two weeks. I’ve completely checked in and have almost all of my gear to volunteer as a Festival Insider Pro for the Sundance Film Festival. I’ll spend the next two weeks attempting to provide the best customer service to all attendees at the festival. My position has […]
Yesterday I had a wonderful opportunity to meet up for an early breakfast with a friend of mine, Thom Singer. Thom is a fellow speaker I first encountered a few years ago at the annual convention for the National Speakers Association. He’s a really nice guy, and I thoroughly enjoyed his down to earth nature, […]
Wait, did that say “Twenty-Twelve?” Yep, we’re here. A new year and a few weeks of writing the date wrong. Blogs are back, and so is Friday Finish. Thank you for allowing me some time to just celebrate with my family in California. Both entries from me this week are pretty short, and as always […]
