Summer 2008: Final Thoughts

Summer 2008: Final Thoughts

I do not know why I worry about these workshops so much. I do not like some of the preparation and I really do not like the process of getting there and developing the relationships at the beginning. But once I start developing relationships, it all works and I love it. There is a great sense of accomplishment when you feel like you helped yearbook kids and advisers be better prepared to do a better book. I also like feeling I prepared sessions that were good, better then I have ever done them.

Visit to Apple Executive Briefing Center

I woke up very early and watched the Olympics, played with my new Touch and then went for a quick run through Saratoga Village.
The day really got underway when we meant around 7 for a quick breakfast on the patio of the Inn at Saratoga.
