Tripp and Tyler Thanksgiving

You know my LOVE for Tripp and Tyler, and their "Don't Be that Guy" films. Happy Thanksgiving!

More Developments

Like I said in my previous post, we got film developed. It is crazy to see how much Sam and Alina have grown.

First, Sam:









































And, Alina:

Snorkle

This weekend we decided to finally get some film developed. We had three underwater cameras that needed developing and two rolls of 35mm film that had who knows what on it. We haven't shot 35mm in YEARS! This photo is from our 10 year anniversary trip to Cancun. That trip was certainly the highpoint of the 2005.

My Biggest "OH CRAP!" Moment of the Semester

So, this morning I had my biggest "OH CRAP" moment of the semester. A few weeks ago our Theology professor bumped the due date of our research paper from 11/18 to 11/23. Somewhere in there I was thinking that 11/23 was the Monday AFTER Thanksgiving, not the Monday BEFORE Thanksgiving. 11/23 is a week from today! OH CRAP!

I'm really tired. Tired to the point that I feel like there is nothing left in me that can be written that could possibly make any coherent sense. Ugh!

Ethics in the Workplace

The country has recently had to deal with several "high profile" ethics issues in the workplace. The ethics issue in the workplace has recently focused around people in high position having sex with those in lower job positions. David Letterman, the baseball analyst for ESPN, etc. But, has the ethics issue at Babyland General Hospital ever been brought to light?

For those of you not familiar with it, Babyland General Hospital is the place where Cabbage Patch babies are born. This morning, I'm holding one of Alina's Cabbage Patch kids while eating breakfast. The baby's Cabbage Patch birth certificate is on the table. I'm eating, holding the baby, and reading. To my horror I see that Xavier Roberts is both the hospital's chief of staff, but also the child's father. (See both pictures below.) Further, for the child to be "genuine," the birth certificate says that "Xavier Roberts" must also be tattooed on the Cabbage Patch's bottom. What is going on at Babyland General Hospital? And, exactly what kind of man is this Xavier Roberts?

Innovation Cultivation

This article entitled Innovation Cultivation has been linked by several leadership blogs I read. And, I am not sure that it could have come at a better time. It is in harmony with a lot of what I have been thinking about lately (well, besides all the papers I'm writing over the next several weeks). Enjoy!
