Meat Room Manifest

Lately at work I have seen myself becoming some sort of a philosopher on leadership. I've always been one to believe that a generals work is in the trenches with his men. I'm finding out that I can get more people to follow my lead by working side by side with them. As I stand at I my post I find my
self preaching almost philosophizing about my ideas on effective leadership.

Who's the boss?

For many weeks now I have intended to write a new blog. I would get on the computer and stare at the screen. I could not find a single shred of inspiration. Usually hardship and drama fuel my posts. Recently I haven't endured anything significant enough to gripe about. In recent times the blessings have outweighed the tribulations. My career path has shifted and launched me into what I've been preparing 9 years for, even if I didn't know it back then.

Survival of the fittest?

I love watching wilderness survival shows. You know the ones where they make fire with sticks, hunt rabbits, and eat insects. Such as Man vs Wild, and Dual survival. These guys are awesome. I love watching it, because in my mind I'm learning how to do what they do. Of course watching a professional is not as easy as doing it in real time.

Temple Tour

Today we drove around Montgomery and Prince George's county Maryland taking pictures of various temples. It's amazing how diverse the religious community is in this area. We focused on temples that were architecturally appealing.

This what we found.

The Franciscan Monestary

Today marks 33 years since the day of my birth. It is a double joyous day, because 7 years ago I married my lovely wife. Every year I take off this week. Although I started my vacation yesterday, we won't being traveling because our daughter's school year just started. Instead we will be taking drives to scenic areas and walking around taking pictures.
