Since my speaking schedule has slowed down for the holidays, I’m spending most of December in California visiting family, friends, and my girlfriend (who relocated to San Diego in June). I recognized that while I did better this year, my fall fitness was once again lacking–it remains tough to do with the hotel gym schedule [...]
“We could go to Tricks?” Dave offered up. After having a successful meeting discussing aspects of Homecoming for our Alumni chapter, we thought it was time to relax and catch up over a good dinner.
“Nah, they’re closed.”

The gym is about to close.

So I feel like I’m in Disneyland circa 1993. The park is cool. I’m excited to be there. I see some of my familiar favorites, but there is no FastPass, and I’m stuck in line for Peter Pan. I love the Peter Pan ride. It is the very first ride I remember riding at Disneyland, [...]
