and we're done...

after 77+ hours, i'm done. amb membership '07 mission accomplished. there isn't a doubt from me that we made the best decisions and are inviting in 22 super individuals. i am really excited about having a chance to get to know these young 'uns and helping make their new member world something they'll remember a long time.

i am really, really proud of the vets; they stayed totally focused all these weeks and knew they had a job to do. and, indeed, they did it. and the 11-hour vote was smooth, solid, and productive. we even had some surprise visitors which made the night even more memorable.

tomorrow at 5:00 begins yet another chapter in the amb world. the 5 o'clock circle expands, in more ways than one and i think we're ready for it. no one truly knows what the future holds for this group but i am sure that the sun will continue to shine brightly from the blowers!

i'm starting to shake this sinus infection and feeling better after a rough week. i made it back to the SRC this a.m. for a good 7 o' clock wake up call. it wasn't the easy thing to do after being "off" for a week, but it does make me more productive at work i think.

okay it's 24 time!

old man winter has returned

it was only a matter of time before the tundra turned frozen here in boonetown. although this past week we were suppose to have a nice collection of snow, it didn't really happen as predicted. we really need a good snow soon to make it really feel like we've had a winter. and, i want to ski soon before the season ends so bring it on mother nature.

well i logged about 70 hours at the office this week. amb app reading week wears me out but i need to recover because the "big week" starts tomorrow with first interaction. i hope we'll make good decisions this week and bring in some great nubs. i think the crew is pretty focused on the end-goal so i'm feeling confident about the future. it's a bit scary to think that the group will change as much as it will over the next month but i guess things happen to make us stronger.

i got in a good swim this morning. the src pool is awesome, plenty of room and warm water...enough to have totally worn me out. i think i will take a nap now.
