And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe we can make a difference in the world, so that we can do what others claim cannot be done.

A teammate was changing jobs and found this book while we were discussing advantages and pitfalls of her new job. I am so glad we both got to read it. I think this should be required reading before a manager even starts to look for a new staff member. And if someone is thinking of looking for a job, this is highly recommended.
I’ve never met Mike. But apparently he’s been kicking ass and taking names as he’s been going through prostate cancer. His goal last winter was to be able to play golf and tennis. He’s not made those goals, but he is able to play pickleball.
Mike, congratulations on the work that you’ve done to get to the point where you can play pickleball. I hope you’re having a great time and crushing your opponents and then having a beer with them. Ha!
Jeri and I are in Utah visiting Cole and Mallory. We rode 11 miles. I ate a hotdog, chips, and 2 cookies. Then we rode another 11 miles. I think that will end up being roughly a zero-calorie gain or loss for the whole ride. But it was cool to see new views and hang out with them!
My office for this afternoon. I actually can chew through a lot of emails sitting in this chair. While it is tough to get much project work done, email is perfect. The only place I can chew through more email in less time is on an airplane. I would recommend doing the airplane route as opposed to getting cancer, but that is just me.
