I met via videoconference with a potential lead referred to me by someone from networking a week or so ago. I’m continuing to plant seeds. This is another coach who is relatively new and will likely need services such as mine in the future. Worked on other stuff and we had hamburger patties and squash … Read more
Today was mostly work things. I had a check-in call with an existing client who is happy with progress. I also met with an outside sales rep for an LED lighting company who is curious how email can help his process. This is more an experiment on my part. I think there are ways I … Read more
Today we took a family field trip to Loon Liquors again. Chris’ son Ben was particularly interested. We had a good time. The folks who were drinking managed to try about 3/4 of the menu. I was driving. Sips of things I tried were quite flavorful. I had a virgin bloody Mary which was delicious. … Read more
This morning we had a bunch of errands. My girlfriend Chris and I got up early to help ferry a car partway across town for her friend Cathy. We all went to breakfast together at a place that had far too many carbs. We’ll lobby for a different sort of breakfast next time. We picked … Read more
Today was pretty quiet as Chris’ children were out of town visiting her parents. I got a lot done. For dinner (for game night) we made “egg roll in a bowl”. This is a popular Facebook recipe making up what white people commonly perceive as the ingredients of Chinese egg rolls. Except in a bowl … Read more
I worked. Chris’ daughter, son in law, and grandson drove North to visit Chris’ parents for a few days so the house was pretty quiet. In the evening, Chris and I tried a different ice cream place for variety. This was one she tried a few years ago on the journey that led her to … Read more
I made a couple of connections on Linkedin. One called, one I’ll follow up with tomorrow. It’s all numbers. I’m building up people I’m working on. In the evening, my girlfriend Chris had gotten tickets for the six of us to go see “Mama Mia!” at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. It has been operating for … Read more
I had a couple of quick calls and made good writing and work progress. In the evening I made a double batch of curry. One with peppers and one without. I got help with the prep: chopping the various vegetables and herbs that go into different parts of it. My girlfriend Chris’ eldest daughter has … Read more
I made progress on some work for clients today. A new small project came in from a current client. (And if I could do those all day long, I’d be perfectly happy. Though I’d eventually outsource that work.) Went over feedback on a current project. And booked a call with someone new who showed up … Read more
We were pretty tired today from some baby crying and Chris getting up early to help out. I imagine schedules will normalize more tomorrow as the travelers get a little more used to Central time. It’s fun to have everyone here and little Thomas is delightful. I did some writing in the quiet of my … Read more
