I’ve seen the World’s Largest Ball of Twine. I know. You’re totally jealous. This took place on Monday. I had just finished speaking at Beloit HS to amazing Kansas StuCo leaders and headed through Cawker City on my way to the next stop in the Kansas tour. The student leaders informed me not to touch […]
I’ve been having a pretty fun week, driving around Kansas as part of my two week tour, speaking to student council leaders and their awesome sponsors. As each day begins, the host school tends to showcase some of their student talent. I’ve listened to choirs, drumlines, and even school orchestras as they show their school […]
So I’m spending the next two weeks in Kansas, speaking to a student council leaders all over the state. It’s going to be fun. Tonight I was lucky enough to have fellow speaker, Bob Tryanski, drive in for a dinner visit. I had heard Bob’s name for years when I first started speaking, and we […]
So I spent part of last night registering for wedding gifts with my fiancee, Jessica. We’re still far from done (amazing that it takes this long to ask for a bunch of STUFF), but we were pretty productive. Even though our local Macy’s had appetizers, small desserts, and some beverages at the special registration event, […]
Yeah, I read the articles too. The iPhone 5 is out. Once again, it’s awesome. Yes, I know. I’m an Apple fan. I like their products. I buy their products. I’m not going to debate Apple vs. other tech companies in this blog (but yeah, I drank the Kool-Aid and I tend to fall under […]
So I got back on my bike today. Perhaps, I should back up a bit. When I moved to San Diego, I sold my car. Since I live in downtown, I don’t really need to drive around that much to get what I need, and I tend to fly to most speaking engagements and rent […]
I missed the closing ceremonies of the Olympics last night. I was traveling to my speaking engagement today and wasn’t able to get in front of a TV set in time, but I did love reading about them. Sounds like it was the best closing ceremonies to date. And now we have today… …and the […]
I was tired this morning. Really tired. I just enjoyed a great weekend in Arizona with my fiancé as we celebrated the wedding of one of her childhood friends. We had fun. But, I was tired when I woke up. You know that type of tired. The one where you start getting ready and as you […]
So the Olympics are on. Each night we can tune in to tape-delayed broadcasts highlighting the successes of each athlete. The other day a friend of mine asked me what my favorite event is for the summer games. I told him I actually like the “failures.” I knew it was a weird statement, but for […]
Okay, so I’ve caught Olympic fever–or at least an Olympic cold : ) We’re a few days in and it is my background noise. I even discovered that the local cable company added an Olympic spotlight station where I can watch all 6 channels of coverage at the same time. Olympic overstimulation, but quite fun. […]
