Heading to Chicago to do work that matters

commitment
in theory, we should be excellent all day, every day – not just when the skies are blue

Heading to Chicago today to do work that matters tomorrow. It’s no different whether your a professional speaker for a world-class organization, or a single mother of three young children, working as a hotel housekeeper.

The reason we have our jobs is to make a contribution to society. Society pays us money in return. We use that money to survive. Even as Michelangelo painted, we should do our jobs.

The Pest Control guy was a blessing in disguise yesterday

carpenter ants
Carpenter Ants are nocturnal and make large colonies

Our Pest Control technician was a blessing in disguise yesterday. Didn’t answer his door bell ring until 15 minutes later, busy working from home. Finally went outside to show him the Carpenter ant colony location.

He asked about my book. And when we were done, I fulfilled my promise and called the proof reader. Been subconsciously making excuses for way too long.

Hey Preacher Man, how’d you do?

French Quarter hotels
French Quarter hotel nearly 100 years old
grand father clocks
time waits for no one, especially show time
positive reinforcement
a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…
window view
a room with a view? absolutely
the office
my workshop a few days ago
fancy curtains
pretty fancy curtains
fancy lights
pretty fancy for a ceiling light

Hey Preacher Man, how’d you do? It’s so darn easy to see the plank in another’s eye, and never notice our own. How in tune are we with our ability to balance life’s (five) big choices?

How’d I do? Depends who you ask.

January 25, 1992 moved into our second house, right behind work. The house I will die in, probably.

Yesterday visited Cafe Du Monde… in the French Quarter, and relived Jimmy Buffett’s song, The Wino and I Know:

coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde…
donuts too hot to touch…
and just like a fool…
when those sweet goodies cool…
I eat ’til I eat way too much…
