May 7th, 2012 · 6 Comments · giveaway, Pics, Stuff you need to know about, Things I like, Travel: Taking the crazy around the world, Uncategorized

Ever seen one of these? I did, once, on my way from Atlanta to Chattanooga years ago. It was my first time witnessing a “See Rock City” barn in person. Since they’re in lots of places east of the Mississippi, I guess that shows that I really didn’t grow up around here. The signs are [...]

What I learnt from the past fortnight

February 10th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Confession: I am SO lame, Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, Increasing my word nerd power, Linkiness, Pics, Travel: Taking the crazy around the world, What I've learned

Lessons learned in the past two weeks: There’s this thing called photography…  Starting January 30, our GREAT friends Simon and Ally have been visiting from England. I say GREAT friends because they’re really more like family. We love them. We love their kids, who are close to the ages of their kids. Our kids love [...]

Why I love my work

August 31st, 2011 · No Comments · My musings, Pics, Things I like, Travel: Taking the crazy around the world

So last week Charlie and I were at a conference, spending our days in seminars and our evenings at receptions at John Maxwell’s house. Really great teaching and interaction with conference attenders, but kind of exhausting. At the final reception on Sunday we were all a little punchy, so it wasn’t really a big surprise [...]

So. Tired. Just got home from Florida. Two four-day conferences. Ten evening receptions (2 per night, for 5 nights). Nice to meet fellow conference staff and attenders. Fun to give advice on social media (based on my work for John Maxwell). One dinner out. One movie afternoon (Cowboys & Aliens, meh). A visit to a [...]

August 23rd, 2011 · 6 Comments · Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, Mediocre housekeeping, Pics, Things I like, Travel: Taking the crazy around the world

Last week it finally arrived! You might remember that Charlie and I had the chance to travel to Greece and Turkey this past June. Well, when we were in Istanbul, we decided to buy a souvenir. We could’ve gotten a coffee cup, like we always do when we travel. In fact, we did get a [...]

Brought to you by Words with Friends

Do you play Words with Friends? It’s just like Scrabble, if you’re not familiar. You can play against friends from all over the world via Facebook and/or a smartphone app. Anyway, I’ve been playing for a few weeks, and frankly, I stink. I can come up with words pretty easily. But I don’t do well [...]

Dreaming of badgers and blazing saddles

January 22nd, 2011 · 3 Comments · Bringin the crazy, Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, Pics, Travel: Taking the crazy around the world

I had a dream about a badger last night. Okay, the dream was not entirely badger-centric. But there was a badger in it. Something about how a badger was the only animal smart enough to climb over a fence or something. Then I climbed it, which proved that I was at least as smart as [...]

You were gone? Or what Wendy said when I got back.

November 7th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Blogging about blogging about blogging, Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, Pics, Stuff you need to know about, Travel: Taking the crazy around the world

Did you miss me? Did you even notice that I was gone? (According to my lovely friend Wendy, my absence was basically UN-marked.) Yes, it’s been a week since my last post. I’ve been in Philadelphia for a conference, and every day after 14 hours of information, I just didn’t have enough brainpower to blog. [...]

Remember how I was in New York? You know, when I wrote the rare serious post? Yeah, well maybe you remember that we went sightseeing on Saturday in the beautiful weather. This is Charlie in Times Square, in front of an oh-so-scenic NASDAQ ad. If you’ve ever been to Manhattan, you know it’s a very [...]
