Although geared specifically to the industry I work in, Chris Miller has an article on TalentZoo. The article covers the need to always keep learning and challenging yourself. If you have a moment, take a read:

Another gorgeous day in Paris so what does one do? That's easy, go shopping and eating.

Up late, we hop on the Metro and head over to the flea market and do some shopping. Then over to the Centre Pompidou for lunch at Georges.

Off the plane and in the Latin Quarter by St. Michelle having lunch. Selena met us for lunch before she headed back to London. Spent the day chillin' and taking in the Paris vibe. The timing has been great as I left Chicago in a rainy, mid 40s, dreary day to arrive in Paris with sunny 80F weather. Perfect

Odd how I find myself heading over to my favorite city to unwind from work and pressures of life in general.

Just a glimpse of what late February looks like in Illinois. A Prozac moment. I rode the train down with Dave and Barbara. The trip down was relaxing.

I went to the pre-screening (a GENART event) for Marie Antoinette, the new movie from Saphia Coppola. It's a look at her life through her eye's with incredible art direction, cinematography and a hip cool soundtrack (think Lost in Translation) in typical Sophia style.

A couple of weeks ago a great friend of mine from childhood contacted me, Scott Rock. It was great to hear from and we have a lot of catching up to do. Today (last night actually), he sent a few pictures from our old neighborhood. Fond memories. Check out those groovy striped pants for my first day of school. Thanks Scott.

I am very happy that Austin enjoys the sport, it certainly keeps him in shape during the summer (and out of trouble :-)). Thanks also goes out to Bob for providing the coaching and a place to practice his tricks. It certainly showed at Louisville.
