The City of Broad Shoulders
Chicago…While often known as “The Windy City” in doing some reading I learned it used to also be referred to as the “City of Broad Shoulders”. The latter reference as a result of its strong industrial focus well into the early 1900’s and was referenced by a poem written by Carl Sandburg in 1916. Which, I [...]

First, I am sorry it’s taken me so long to update my blog. The Road Tour, work, and then family activities simply caught up with me…But I’ve missed writing, and am getting back in the groove as we progress through our Journey of Renewal together and finish up the final cities of the Univera Road [...]

20. May 2008
Today we drove up the Coast, from New Jersey to Maine. A perfect day for a road trip, mid 70’s with clear and sunny skies. About a five hour drive, but it went quickly with the good conversation. When you get to know someone really well, they needn’t speak words to tell you how they’re feeling. [...]

20. May 2008
Upon arriving in Newark, NJ Regan and I parted paths for a while, he headed up to the hotel and I went to have dinner with my parents. It was great to see them again; the last time was probably six months ago. I owe a lot to both of them. As a former New Jersey [...]

15. May 2008
This evening we were welcomed to the South in Knoxville, TN. As a reminder, Stephen has made the trip home to Seattle so for the leg between Dallas and New Jersey it’s just Regan and me…But, we do have a Stephen DVD, which while isn’t a replacement for the real thing is still pretty good. Actually, in [...]

14. May 2008
Okay, it keeps getting better and better. It really does. That’s the beauty of momentum, and also the byproduct of great leadership and amazing people. And then sometimes you add these things together with all the other right dynamics that sometimes occur on occasion and you have a nearly perfect evening. Tonight’s meeting was among the very best [...]
Continue reading...Dallas/FORT WORTH
14. May 2008
I’ve capitalized Fort Worth because at this evening’s event Regan kept saying how great it was to be in Dallas. But, truly, we were actually having the meeting in Fort Worth. And, even truer still, in the scheme of things this is not a distinction that will make much difference in any of our lives. [...]

13. May 2008
Today we flew from Denver into Oklahoma City, it was our first time here and OKC reminded me very much of my time living in the Midwest–Ohio and Indiana. It’s really a great city, such nice people. It was quite a comfortable, slightly humid and pleasantly warm late-Spring day. And to my amazement, when Regan and [...]

13. May 2008
Denver has something like 364 days of sunshine a year. We came on day number 365. Okay, that’s a little hyperbole. Maybe it’s something like 310 days of sunshine a year. Regardless of the clouds and off/on snow in May, our brief time together in Denver was fantastic. Stephen came to Denver a day early, Rengen (not [...]

11. May 2008
Happy Mother’s Day! A quick blog entry here on Sunday, Mother’s Day so that I can thank all the Moms out there for everything they have done to provide and care for their families and loved ones. I didn’t think to write anything for today, yet during church this morning it dawned on me that I should [...]
