Credit where credit is due.

Jenifer helped me with a computer! Ok, lets be more specific. She helped me with Facebook. I had all kinds of people asking me for some birthday thing that I did not want to do (MOM). She showed me how to disable "Apps" Now to be honest I did not know I was running "Apps" I was running some 20 "Apps" Now I am "App" free.

Thanks Jenifer...Facebook Queen

I have come to realize that I only access Facebook via the iPad. That has definitely influenced my Facebook experience.

Yea, I have been slacking

Posting on the blog. So I will try and catch up.

Last weekend we made a trip up to KC to see the Royals. It started with a night stay at my sisters house and we had a chance to see her boys.



Saturday morning began with some storms in the morning which made the morning cool. We had a great time early exploring the stadium. The boys loved it.



The game definitely warmed up ending in the mid 90's and felt like 100. We had great seats and a wonderful time.

OK I checked

Even Death Valley is cooler than Hays this week. Maybe I need to check the surface of the sun.

Good conversation about interesting

We were discussing some marketing yesterday and one thing that we all agreed about (For a change) was it at least had to be interesting. Nothing drives me more crazy than boring marketing.

During the Royals game last night there was the always interesting Beef Jerky Sasquatch commercial. The more recent release can be seen HERE.

Has all the great elements. Product placement, you cant turn the channel and is funny.

The only other thing that I think can make advertising better is adding value to the viewer/listener. Make them aware and educate.

Keep it fun
Add value
Make it interesting

A song, game and a hero

It all started with the National Anthem sung by Garrett and Tammy Wellbrock. They did a great job. (Definitely something I could not do, nor would you want me to do it. Your ears would hurt)



Then we had a chance to see Blake throw a great inning with no runs.



Meanwhile in the background I had my award winning friend Gerard Wellbrock in the background calling the game. I kinda missed him during the game however. It is kinda nice having your own color man for the games.



Claudio then finished the game with no runs and even gave us a dance. (OK, it is just his follow through)

Right when you thought it could not get any better.



Carsen came BLASTING up the stairs with a bat from Ryan Busboom the one player (Outside of Blake, duh) Carsen LOVES. No matter where Carsen is, when Ryan's walk up song starts, Carsen stops to watch.



A super big thanks to Ryan for making Carsen's year.

Every house needs this!

USB ports on your outlets to power your phone, iPad or other electronic devices. I installed my first and have to say it was easy and now I need a couple more.

Jenifer was less than impressed but sure makes charging easier. Now a couple for the boys.

Don't over think it.

OK Do.

Just kidding.

One thing I guarantee is that I have never been accused of doing is over thinking things. I have been pretty good at gathering facts, analyzing them then acting without remorse. Recently it seems that I have seen quite a lot of people in business gathering facts looking then starting over and the end result is, well, nothing! A bad decision may have been better than no decision.

Lets face it, in today's information world, information overload is pretty easy. Facts and figures, people's opinion and noise are everywhere. Moving forward it is probably more important to be able to sort through information and identify key parts is crucial.

It is everywhere. We booked a vacation to Disney World and the amount of decisions were mind boggling. Which resort to stay, meal plans, ticket options, flights even which airport to use. I think you could get a masters in Disney!

Sometimes the Nike slogan is the best "Just Do It"
