As I cleaned today, I watched an on demand presentation of Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America. It was the big finale, and so the final two contestants were pulling out all of their stops to wow the judges. One of the contestants made squab. That’s right, cooked pigeon. To wow the judges, he cooked […]
So I’m back in San Diego today after a great Mastermind experience with fellow speakers in Chicago yesterday. I spent my day resting (as the quick time change turnaround had a big effect on me) and catching up on a few of the TV shows I missed while traveling. Last Monday night’s episode of How […]
So I’m grocery shopping last night to get some vegetables for a salad, and I stumble upon this little sign. That’s right. It’s 59 cents a pound with the card, or 0 cents a pound without the card. Unfortunately, I used the card to get discounts on other items, and did not end up getting […]
I’m in an interesting stage of life right now. It’s a stage most people go through several times–especially in their early 20’s. As I’ve mentioned several times in this blog, my fiancé moved to San Diego last June for work. Our December engagement provided me the assurance to leave Arizona and join her there, so […]
Yesterday, I did my first Question & Answer post based off one question I received at a leadership conference last month. I’ll continue answering questions from that batch and more. Feel free to email me questions at any time. Question: How do you stay positive?/What are some good ways to keep motivation? Answer: First, I […]
I’m in Reno, Nevada for the next few days attending the California Association of Directors of Activities Annual Convention. It’s a great gathering of some of my favorite people I see throughout the year including many of my friends from outside California. The convention takes place at the Grand Sierra Resort, just a short shuttle […]
I’m sitting in my home for the next two weeks. I’ve completely checked in and have almost all of my gear to volunteer as a Festival Insider Pro for the Sundance Film Festival. I’ll spend the next two weeks attempting to provide the best customer service to all attendees at the festival. My position has […]
I’ve spent today trying to return to normalcy after an incredible weekend with my family in Pasadena. My cousin, Debbie, married her awesome husband, Jason, in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. It was a wonderful gathering of all of my cousins on my mom’s side, most of their spouses and kids (a few couldn’t make the […]
So I just finished my last business trip of the year and also requalified for my 1K status on United in the process. This year was unique as I qualified via segments (over 120 flights) and miles (over 100,000) flown since January. For me, it’s a good thing as my higher status on the airline […]
The latest Marcel the Shell with Shoes On video was just released on YouTube. The first video received a great deal of acclaim and was even a selection at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. I loved the first video, watching it more times than I could count. The second is also wonderful, but it’s the last […]
