So I've missed the family this week that is for sure. I know the boys are having a good time at VBA this week, and Tina is most likely enjoying her break from work. I do worry about her getting too awful lonely while the boys are gone, but I'm sure some alone time is nice also. Went fishing out at Lake Lanere (sp?) yesterday. We were out on a boat four people including the captain. It was our free day activity. I caught three really nice 4-6 pound stripers. I'll have a picture forthcoming at some point. Anyhow that was a blast. The conference in general has not lived up to the standards of previous conferences. The speakers were sub par or not really as applicable as those we've had in the past. However today we had a gentleman by the name of Jamie Clarke come and speak with us (http://www.jamieclarke.com/pressbio.htm). He was incredible. He was a part of three different attempts to reack the peak of Mt Everest (led two of them himself). He and his team did succussfully reach the peak and his stories and pictures of those trials were both amusing and entertaining. He was a wonderful speaker that really brought out the importance of holding fast to our dreams and continuing to drive for them until you succeed. I know he also tied in the importance of team work and continuing to fight hard till you acheive your goals no matter how difficult they may appear. Anyway he has been by far the bright spot of this conference. I'll update more later, but just wanted to jot some notes down.
Tina is thinking of starting up her own blog as well, so those who are familiar with her as well you can be looking forward to that link being added to my blog spot listing very shortly. After I get home I'll work with her on some of technical issues related to bloging and she'll be up and running. Well have to run to the team building activity, but wanted to take just a short minute to update everyone
