Book Bagel & Double Espresso Breakfast. Ahhhhh...

2008-01-02T10:21:00.000-05:00

A quiet early breakfast at Craig Proctor's Super Conference in Phoenix November '07... The book, Zero-Resistance Selling by Maxwel Maltz is now quite dog eared. That's good. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for peace of mind in a sales career. And you can't go wrong with a double espresso and bagel to start a full day at a Super Conference with Craig Proctor.

Emma is tired.

Mt. Washington from my hammock

2006-07-03T23:04:00.000-04:00

Last night the wind was ferocious! The trees whipped violently, and the ground was as though alive as roots fought against the rapacious power that has turned so many of the neighboring trees into nurse logs.
Not much sleep for me.

Hammock in the Wind

2006-07-03T17:43:00.000-04:00

Had a great view of Mt. Washington, but, little protection from the wind.

Bivy Sacked

2006-05-30T19:11:00.000-04:00

After a hike to the summit of Bond Cliff from the Lincoln Woods trailhead, we didn't wait for dark to crawl into bivy or hammock.

Some stud

2006-02-24T15:06:00.000-05:00

Lizz said this stud is a "Possible dad for my colt"

If this were Mr. Ed he'd look more enthusiastic. But, he obviously doesn't understand that he may be hooked up with a cute little filly.

Lizz just sent me this picture of Baby Girl

Stopped Snowing... And the Full Moon is Out

2006-02-12T22:45:00.000-05:00

Today marks Shirl's and my 7th wedding anniversary. We spent the day snowed in and we end the day together with a full moon.

10 inches and still snowing

2006-02-12T16:53:00.000-05:00

Maybe it's time to trudge to the garage and start the snow blower.

8 inches & snowing

2006-02-12T12:46:00.000-05:00

7¾ inches to be exact. And my wood shed is filled with dry wood for the fireplace.

Crocus in February! Global warming?

This morning I saw this crocus in the flower garden!

Super Bowl party @ John & Suzanne's #3

2006-02-06T00:04:00.000-05:00

Woody

I wish I'd taken more pictures during the party. But, I didn't want to be a pain in the you know what. In retrospect, it might have been the politically correct behavior. Oh well.

Everyone was routing for their team. About half were for the Teal team and the others for the Yellow team. I'm not sure what Woody's routing for here in this picture. I suspect that the game was a distraction from the commercials.

I should have taken the pictures during the commercials. That's when everyone was focused. In Woody ALLEN's movie (no relation to Woody here) Deconstructing Harry, one guy was out of focus. In these three pictures, EVERYONE is OUT OF FUCUS.

Tony - QuickPlace session at Lotusphere 2006

2006-01-25T22:55:00.000-05:00

I would have posted a picture of myself speaking, too. But, somehow it didn't seem like taking a self-portrait in front of a 600+ crowd was the right thing to do. Especially considering Tony had posted a note on the podium next to the laptop the times each of us had to complete our portion of the talk. And, Tony was sitting next to the buttons to switch to another laptop's display. Tony obviously read a book on how to manage your manager.

Geek's Night Out at Lotusphere 2006

2006-01-24T20:00:00.000-05:00

Ready for a night of partying with pocket protector filled with several kinds of mechanical pencils and pens, tape on glasses, and top shirt button buttoned. At the party, the real geeks got it. The rest of the folks thought I broke my glasses.

That's my Treo 600 in a Rhino Skin protective case.

This was taken last year and still on my Treo. Although the lighting isn't great, I think it captured a good smile.

Boot Verizon ads from your blog

2006-01-16T10:51:00.000-05:00

Verizon charges us to send pictures from our phones, but doesn't give us an opt out from sending their ads. Sleezy advertizing! This is similar to spam. Shame on you Verizon.
For bloggers like me who want to prevent Verizon from invading our moblogs when we post images from our picture phones, there are two ways I know of. You can A) boot Verizon, or B) at the very end of your message, below the picture, add the hash mark (a.k.a. pound sign) and the word "end" (no space between hash sign and end). This will prevent Verizon's ad from being posted to Blogger.
That's a picture of my boot above, taken with my Treo 600. I'm flying at 34,004 feet as I write this, and listening to the blues on my Treo. My 1Gig SD card is filled to capacity with blues harp music - from Big Mamma Thorton to Willie Cobbs - many of the best harmonica players ever recorded.

BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT VERIZON TACKED ON TO MY MESSAGE. IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IF I HAD USED "#end" AT THE END OF MY MESSAGE
