It’s a little sad when no one comments on your blog. Not that it’s a big deal, but when you have no comments for several days one begins to wonder if it’s just that you’re not writing the right stuff or if your life is just that boring. :)
Now to all of you who may have had a momentary inkling to comment like crazy or even just comment once to say hello, please don’t. It’s okay. I’m just being me…and you know me. Not that you can’t comment in the future, but just don’t feel like you HAVE to. :) This really is just for me, it's just an observance I had...
Anyway…life is going well. I went to the Guthrie last night for the original practices performance of “Measure for Measure” by the Globe Theatre actors. Incredible performance. I wasn’t that familiar with the play, but it really was one of the better ones I’ve seen.
Cah and I had a conference yesterday and heard 5 speakers. One I was looking to hire for our staff day, but then we went to one in the afternoon who was just phenomenal. Some of you sports fans may know him: Walter Bond. He played for UofM from 87-91 and then over 8 years with the Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons. He was an incredible speaker. He spoke about having an off-season for work: taking time to work on your work – not a vacation, but a time set aside, at the same time each year, to work on getting better at what you do - getting bigger, stronger and faster, as he said. For some this could be an annual conference, for others (like Bill Gates) take 2 weeks and go away from their workplace, home, family, everything and focus and brainstorm on what would help them improve themselves and their position at work. Really an incredible thought – and why we don’t do this I don’t know. cah mentioned she had always thought we should go away to a hotel or something stay over night and rent a meeting space to talk through things. I think it would be good…especially if we could bring a computer with EMS but no email – since if we had that you know that’s all we’d do. Of course, talk is cheap – follow through is expensive. We can talk about doing this: we can talk about improving ourselves, but if we don’t actually do it, then all this talk about it means nothing, nada, zilch, nein.

thanks for talking (quickly) this morning. sorry that no one has been commenting on your blog. honestly, i feel like i've been running around so much that i haven't had time to read anyone else's blog, or even post on my own blog. need to make time...need to make time...
like i said, just an observation. i totally understand being busy and the blog is the last thing on my mind. It's all good. It was great to talk to you today too. I hope you guys have a great weekend if we don't talk before then! :)
sara.....don't feel sad and lonely :( just because i choose to come down and eat all your cookies and pie and not comment on your blog, doesn't mean you're not the best little person in the cupboard under the stairs i've ever met :) work's just been a little busier for me lately, but now that life's a little better, i'll try to sneak in some late night comments again, okay?
