Touch and Goes….
My life seems to be a series of touch and goes. My stepfather, who was an Airforce Pilot says that’s a landing that doesn’t complete and a takeoff that never started….
China – California – Pennsylvania – Florida – Pennsylvania – California – Pennsylvania – Amsterdam – California…..
Today I’m on my way back to California from Philadelphia. I came here to visit my brother and his family. Dave had brain surgery 3 weeks ago. He is doing amazingly well and will be going back to work in a week. My parents were here when he had the surgery – I was still in China – and I came in as relief caretaker for them a week ago. The good news is that I didn’t have much caretaking to do! Dave was already taking the dog for a walk and circling the mile track close to their house.
And since I’m on the right coast I went down to Florida to speak with Patty at DEMA – a scuba diving convention. We spoke about creating a repeat customer and identifying buying styles. And we marketed our services as the Dynamic Duo… that was one of the great outcomes of our time in China – we had a fabulous time presenting together and discovered that we work very well together.
I’m coming back to Philly for Thanksgiving, then heading out to Amsterdam to teach a Microsoft workshop in December. It’s a crazy schedule, but I’m happy, healthy, strong, and flexible. And I have wonderful friends and family who are patient with my schedule – Like you!!
