PuckYou--So I'm sitting here bored, can't sleep, thinking of what I want to do with my life, when it dawned on me. What am I doing going to volleyball nationals when I could be playing
professional Air Hockey. As the site says
"Many people have a misconception about Air Hockey as a sport. Air Hockey involves strategy, conditioning, stamina, practice and for tournament success, the ability to perform under pressure. These are exactly the qualities necessary for success at most sports involving athleticism."Much to my amazement, there are professional tournaments right here in Naperville. Since my wife bought me a regulation table a few years ago that proudly adorns my basement, I haven't been taking the sport seriously. hmmm...I better reconsider. Better yet, I'll start training the boy now to be an air hockey champion. Aim high Mason. Check out the videos on
this page (2000 Texas State Championships). Riveting...
BestPractice--Someone put together a nice list of
web best practices. Although I already sent this to Walt, Mark, and Rachelle via email, and they are my only readers, so why did I bother?
Savoyeur-- Thank God it's over. For the past 6 months our team at TMP has been working to put together the Savoy Professional Networking Series. The first event was held last night at the W Hotel in Chicago. It brought together top African American professionals to network, while we sold our clients the ability to set up a table at the event and recruit from this talented pool of people. I'd say that the event was a huge success. There were many happy networkers, free drinks, groovy music, and a fascinating keynote speaker -
George Fraser. The amount of work that went into this - building a
website, coming up with sales sheets, inviting participants, stuffing folders, and helping the team just establish the ground rules for the event was daunting. Luckily, we get to do it all over again for June 5th in NY. For now I'll revel in the nice party I attended, and the really cool people I met. Yawn... back to work.
HappyBirthdayToMe-- Yesterday I turned 28 years old. I'm not yet ready to reveal what I want to have accomplished by the time I'm 30. I'm still working on that.
