ATT folks set things up nice with donuts!! PLUS… The 6’s were there!!
authors anonymous
Authors Anonymous is one of those wonderfully obscure movies that will make you smile that — unfortunately — will never see the light at the Oscars, but I am not writing this blog to the Oscar watchers because those are movies nobody really sees.
This movie is about a bunch of struggling authors who connect and help each other until one day… someone makes it big!
Part of the fun of this movie is that it was written by Dave Congalton a local radio talk show host in San Luis Obispo… and like so many who want to… finally hit a home run. Congratulations Dave.
Oh yes, you can find the movie on iTunes and it should bring a smile.
Segway the Washington Mall #aps2013
Not everything is hard work at the APS conference in Washington, D.C. This year!
A hardy band of travelers ventured out on the Washington mall for a bit of Segwaying…
Inside the seals in Iraq
My daughter Kristin gave me this wonderful book for Christmas “American Sniper” by Navy Seal Chris Kyle. Like “no Easy Day”, I sat down and read it in one day!
What is unique about “American Sniper” is not just Chris Kyle’s perspective… But the inclusion of long sections written by his wife that added a meaningful perspective on the sacrifices everyone made.
For those looking for drama and action it is there… Even a bit of family and romance. The story to me was also about Chris finding what was valuable in this world, moving on and paying back to those who made his life successful and meaningful.
I don’t think it hurts the story to say that Chris is learning the value and contribution to the greater good in being a better husband and father. His contributions speak for themselves… But what he is now doing also helps build a better future.
I am reminded that one of the top Christmas wishes for this year… Was for a father.
Fight On for ol SC
My daughter Karen — SC Trojan record holder in the women’s shot put — has taught me a lot about social media. Certainly, we on the second half of the century mark have enjoyed facebook, linked in, twitter… and now PTCH. Pitch gives us a way of telling and posting our story in pictures and to music using nothing more than your iPhone ( smartphone).
I am sure this ap will just keep getting better and better. FIGHT ON!
