Help Me Help You

Please.
I got a call today.

Asking for a referral.
Knew someone who would be perfect.
Tried to pass on contact information.

Couldn’t find it.

In an easy form.
I could cut and paste.
And send on the fly to their potential client.

I had no recent email.

No signature file.
Couldn’t remember their website.
Didn’t have time to troll though social media sites.

It started to feel [...]

You Could Not Pay Me to Pay Him

Seriously.

Went to the phone store.

To upgrade my service.
And get a smarter phone.
(No worries, the wold has not ended yet.)

Couldn’t stand him by the end of our conversation.

In a very short time, John disparaged the heck out of me.

My phone plan was ancient.
I mixed up [...]

We kicked off by exploring amazing teams.
I took the big picture and another speaker got into more [...]

I’m not a recording type of person.
I excel in the world of big ideas.
This feels like punishment of sorts.

And Mollie held strong.

Am I eating too much?
Or too little?
We won’t know [...]

You are a Blip in the Universe

Wake up.

Today James and I attended Ann Arbor’s 4th of July Parade.

Enjoyed seeing people we knew.
Watching the action.
Soaking up the lovely day.

We weren’t ready to go home after the parade.

Decided to grab a bite at a new tiny new place.
Walked over.
They weren’t open yet.

What a shame.

About 20 people had the same idea as [...]
