Are you a salmon or a cod?
Are you a salmon or a cod? That was the main question last night at West End in Elon. Much to the consternation of the attendees of the ubiquitous 'black-out' party and the Elon Rugby celebration, there were a bunch of slightly older folks celebrating for reasons all their own.
With orange hats bearing the Salmon Run House logo, we imbibed, made 'salmon runs' and generally confused all with our presence. Thanks to Steve and his Superbowl winnings for hosting the fete, Nick for taking the future bribery photos, Eric for allowing his apartment to be the sight of the salmon run, Stacy for protecting my bathroom door and generally providing humor and perspective, Denard for the swim...er...construction goggles, W, Molly, Jamian, Cheryl and Sarah for rounding out the festivities. A great time was had by all. We will be tracking down Nick and the camera film in the near future. Let's hear it for the Elon Rugby team and the "Days of the Week!"
As a Steve-designated 'salmon' - I swim upstream. This upcoming month I will be swimming up to Connecticut February 28th - March 2nd and March 7th-10th, to California March 14th-15th, to Connecticut March 16th and again March 29th-30th. Later in April I'll spend some time in Puerto Rico. W and I plan to make use of our frequent flyer miles, hotel points and car rental credits during a May trip to Colorado. Anyone have input on things that one MUST DO in Denver in the summer? Hikes, restaurants, shopping, breweries - we're open to suggestions.

Starting out
Embarking on several new adventures this month - one of which is the phenomonal book / way of life / time-management process known as Getting Things Done. I may blog a bit about how this is going.
Another adventure is the blogging experience. Topics to cover? I'll stay away from work items unless it's a big promotion or adventures in travel. Most of you know that I'm a pharmaceutical sales trainer for a great company. Beyond that, I'll keep this general and confined to personal, fun, websites I like, family items, 3-Day and other charitable activities, and anything else that catches my fancy...like this little funny from my niece...sometimes don't you want to just say "get your own box"?!?!
Hope you enjoy! Please post comments or send me an email. Thanks!
Goals for 2005? Whoops I mean 2006:

Decide whether or not to pursue graduate school
Paint & decorate my office
Explore Chapel Hill, Greensboro and other areas in my new surroundings
