Sometimes it seems like time slips away like the bar of soap in the shower on a groggy morning. You think you've got a firm grasp on it, then next thing you know ... ZZZINNNNGGG! It's gone.
The last few days have been like that.
There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done and with kid sleep problems (therefore parent sleep problems too), I am constantly exhausted. I find myself prioritizing the necessities, which is never a good thing. Had to haul ass today to get to off-site meetings and back for media interviews and still only have about 5 minutes to spare for this blog update.
Hoping for improvement soon.

Get well Brandon
Just a quick note to ask all of you following my blog to keep my friend Brandon in your thoughts. He was badly injured this weekend in a motorcycle accident while riding in the desert. Ironically, it wasn't far from where we had been camping during the weekend. I'll give him a hard time for riding in the desert alone when he gets better, but for now, let's hope for a speedy recovery.
I'll share one great anecdote related to Brandon to give you a sense of what a great guy he is.
My dad has been in a nursing home for almost 2 months trying to rehab after a partial hip replacement following a fall. It has been a struggle for him to get better. But on several occasions, I've arrived to visit him to find Brandon already visiting. Brandon even brought some memento's back from a recent desert trip, including pictures, for my dad. Brandon has been such a good friend to our family, helping out often.
Get well soon buddy.

Halloween Sadness
Sitting here in Arizona (Scottsdale) at the moment, waking up with a cup of Starbucks VIA in my hotel room. Since my last post, a lot has happened, including a great camping trip this weekend with Nicole and the kids. I'll post on that later with some pictures.
This morning though, I am sad. I like my job, and though travel is annoying at times, it can be fun. However, missing precious moments at home is truly heartbreaking for me. Nicole did such an amazing job making the kids costumes for Halloween, and spent weeks of late nights that I enjoyed observing as she toiled. So to have to miss the kids Trick or Treating in those costumes is a real killer. Worse, the corporate kickoff meeting I had to attend that caused me to miss it was totally worthless. I like the company I work for, but sometimes I have to question the decision making.
On a brighter note, I really appreciate seeing pictures of the kids as the night progressed. Thanks for being a wonderful mom and wife Nicole.
Not looking forward to a couple of Northeast trips in December though, although I do like the snow occasionally being a native Californian.
