Day 2 (On Delay)

Finished up facilitation today. It did not end on a up note, however getting real was the object of this meeting.

Achieved.

Another late night and early morning. I do not know the last time that I have felt this done at the end of the day. Great week ahead. I am sure that I will get more energy by then!

Wow, Day 1 is over in Orlando (On Delay)

I thought yesterday would be a slow entry into HTG. Wow was I wrong. I had a plan to sleep in a little due to my first meeting being at 10, that didn’t happen. I was reminded by Christy to get the projector down early for some breakout sessions. So then I continued the façade to think I would get back to the room till 10. Didn’t happen. The next time I saw the room was for 15 minutes to change into some tennis shoes to go to dinner.

Great restaurant at Disney. That took us until a little past 9 and of course couple of hours at the bar catching up, next thing I knew it was midnight and I still had a hour or so preparation. Made for a short night.

During the day I attended some Facilitator training that was well run and on time, training on Managed Services, then selling Managed services and Service Leadership. All capped off by meeting with SonicWALL to discuss their new Champs program. All in all a great start to the week. However, dragging a little already. I will get more energy once the day starts!

To Flordia I go (On Delay)

So today, I wake up at 36 degrees to be at almost 90 in Flordia later. I am going to see the gang at HTG (All event) and later to the ConnectWise event. I am presenting a total of 6 times. Doing somthing a bit different this time and presenting for SonicWALL (Hey Ted, I put the capitals in the right place this time)

Anyway, I am going with Loren who I have worked with in some capicity for over 15 years. Should be fun. The events go fast, the week goes fast, I HATE the travel. From the car to the plane to taxi to room etc.

Prayers to Jen being a single mother this week and being alone on her birthday once again this year. (Third year in a row I believe)

Thanks for all you do Jen.

I had someone tell me that advertising does not work!

Interesting statement coming from someone who was wearing the Nike Tennis Shoes, Nike Shirt and Nike watch! OK to be honest, I did not make that statement to them, it was not worth my time. Nike is an advertisement. Just do it "Right"

The next time you think that advertising does not work, just watch my kids ask for things they saw in school, tv or other. They are definitely easily influenced.

Trick or Treat Santa


I was thinking that Santa would be a good costume for Halloween!

Anyways, we took the boys trick or treating to a dozen or a little more places and they came home with enough candy to last till next October! So little Blue Power Ranger and Little Indiana Jones will be wired for a week or so!

I have noticed a LOT of Christmas targeted sales this week. Decorations started going up a couple of weeks ago. Now Santa could not trick or treat even if he wanted, he is too busy getting ready for the season.

The big party

So we had the friend party then the family party this weekend. Caden and all had a blast!

I think he received all the Halo Lego sets. Great in theory, however, I can only put together so many sets in one weekend. Who is this challenge for? Me or Him?

Next is Jenny's birthday on Tuesday. She does not get a friend party.
