Brad and his wife Robyn spoke to us about how their faith helps keep everything in perspective. There are many tools for helping to keep life and work in Balance, but for the Schows it all comes down to their faith in Christ.
Early to Rise (Early to Bed didn’t happen, sadly)
Getting back on the road quite early this morning for the drive home. We are on Pat Crotty time – so that means ON THE ROAD at 4am – then drive all day with breaks for gas/bathrooms. (we have food packed in the cooler for drivetime dining). So… Although we have 1521 miles to drive – we’ll be home by tomorrow night. Today, we’ll drive 842 miles to Butte, Montana. Tomorrow we’ll push it the rest of the way home to Bellingham. Our kids are the smallest of the bunch – so this travel style is pretty rough on them, despite the drugs (portable DVD players we bought for the trip) we’re giving them. Augustus is 3yo and Dorothy is 9 months. Dorothy has always been a great car traveler, but the drive to North Dakota kind of ruined that wonderful trait. She’s sleeping now of course, but I fear that when she wakes up that we’ll be hearing about it…
Eggl Family Reunion = Masterful Organization
I was noticing how some of the hallmarks of good family reunions are the same as the hallmarks of good business on this trip. The Eggl sisters had all the meals and chores organized down to the “t". We all had chores assigned via email before we arrived – and we had a schedule of events. The food was a little Midwest bland for me, but there was plenty of it and it was hot and on time for Dinner and Supper on each of the three days of the reunion. When you consider that 150 folks were being served at once, it was an impressive achievement to keep the trains running on time – several times a day. (plus afternoon coffee with more food/desserts). I’m afraid I gained about 10 pounds. 
Hello World!
Welcome to my Blog – generally focused on business video for the Value Added Reseller (VAR), but it’ll also include my thoughts about my business and my life. My business is a big part of my life – so they are all intertwined here. Below – my son is doing some running last spring (2007). Seemed like a good illustration of life – running in circles at times, but having fun and learning new things along the way.
