Off to brave the traffic and insanity of post-Christmas sales. Not shopping - working.

Much relaxation and food over the past few days, and great fun spent with the kids. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break!

Erg. An 8-hour c.e. course on social media? Will people stay awake? Shut down from overload? Throw things at the instructor?

Holiday video #3 down - Elf. I'm falling way behind. A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Scrooged...so many more, so little time!

Time for a Starbucks break. Starting to feel the mid-afternoon sinker comin on.

The one day I can sleep in, and what time do I wake up? 6 a.m. Guess I'm startin my day early...

Off to Colorado Springs to teach a GRI tech class. We'll be checking in on FB, Twitter and LI later in the afternoon, so hope you'll say hi!

Off to the races. Still having challenges with exchange server. New profile set as default, yet old one still pops up 1st. Aargh.

OK, just passed a grueling test for AECS certification, and my brain is mush. Wait. I think it was mush before...

K, so the wash is done, drycleaning dropped off, I'm half packed and my Daily Mugshot's been taken. Now off to the office, calls & errands.

Now posting from iGoogle. More cool lil toys to play with.

OK, here we go! Upandatem early to start a very busy week. Proposal follow up, AECS final test and several days on the road. Wheeeeee!

Did I mention I'm in a good mood? Happy camper.

K, nuff fun by the pool. Headin back to the room to shower, continue the studyin and get ready for dinner tonight with CAR folks.

Laying by the pool studying AECS materials, trying to get some tan lines. Sorry to those of you within visual range...

Yikes! Presentation scheduled on short notice, so the morning's all in flux! Hope I can get everything done in time.

Munchkin folded, so it's dad on the couch by himself watching the game, and it's a good one. Beats watchin the Broncos.

By the time I land in Orlando tomorrow night, we should know who's president, right? Unless, of course, we have hanging chad issues...

Daughter's working on a PowerPoint on plate tectonics. Due tomorrow. And we knew about this when?

My body's still on daylight savings time. Jeez, it's only an hour. Suck it up! Stay awake!

K. Enuff work for now. Running some errands on the Road King, and I'm gonna take the l-o-n-g way. ;-)

All work and no play... Gonna stop in a bit and go for a scooter ride on this 70 degree November day. Anybody up for a ride?

Hitting the ground running this fine Saturday morning. Lots to do before hopping a plane to Orlando Tuesday for NAR convention.

Just landed. Another exciting travel day. Had a great seminar with Mark Leader in Dallas. Now to plug in the phone & laptop and get to work!

Aaaack! 5 minutes to throw s*** (stuff) in a bag and be down the road. But watch - this'll be the one time I don't forget anything.

One conference call down, 3 more to go. Then hopping a plane to DFW later tonight for Leaders Choice training tomorrow.

Two brats later and I'm ready to go...to sleep maybe. Nah, I'll rally.

Back home after a busy day, with lots more to do. OK kids, you're gettin brats & beans - Dad's on a roll...

Wheeee! Quite a ride already today, and it's barely half over. Of course, working til midnight tonight I guess it's not half over is it?

Just finished voting. MG, Colorado's ballot looks like a short novel this year! So many amendments, referendums, etc. So little brain power.

Oh snap! Dallas on Wednesday. Might be a good idea to get a flight...

Up and at em on a Sunday morning, BIG coffee in hand. AECS study, presentations to finish and proposals to finalize. Gonna need a 2nd pot.

Successful social media class in WA today, lasted 4 hours and got positive feedback, great participation. Thanks to all who attended!

Incredible sunset against the fall colors, and it's still above 60 degrees. Fall in the Rockies is nothing short of amazing!

Yikes! It's nearly 6 o'clock! Did we put the clocks forward today? Did I fall asleep again? Looks like another late one...

Conference call then hunkerin down for the day to plow thru what I didn't get done yday. Need to get outdoors sometime tho - gonna be 80!

Feelin all of $1.98. No matter, gotta get up and do somethin. Suck it up and get back to work.

Gotta get going. So much to do, so little time. Let's see if the chiropractor can fix this old bod.

Dang it! Conference call followed immediately by chiro apptmt. Still have to pack for KC trip this afternoon. Need to clone myself (scary).

Holy (insert favorite adjective, noun, or in some cases, verb) where has the day gone? Out the door to get something done...

OK, I give. Woke up with impression of my keyboard imbedded in my face. Think it's time for napland. Sweets dreams y'all.

Finally getting out to get some stuff done. Course tomorrow is canceled, so will fill up my day in other ways. Maybe I'll catch up? Not.

Guess the snow and ice was on the west side of Denver. Lots of accidents reported. Dry but cold here. Easy drive to munchkin's school.

Shoveling. Shoveling. There's gotta be a pony in here somewhere. Still shoveling...

Every once in awhile you need to step away from the computer and use a pen and paper. Novel and quaint, I know, but necessary nonetheless.

Twitter boot camp starting. You'll see some new Twits in a bit, make sure to Tweet @DavinciDeb to say hi to our new friends!

Off to Boulder for Twitter camp on this cold and wet Saturday. See ya soon @RobMcNealy & @DaVinciDeb. Break a leg!

Overdose of caffeine has turned me somnambulant. Next phase - zombie.

Conference calls all morning, working on risk management course for brokers, and closing the loop on outstanding proposals. Busy day.

Finishing up a great webinar, so happy so many could join us. Thanks again and hope you enjoyed it.
