You have to understand what you can and can't control. Unfortunately, I
sit here in Ohio as the Washington DC airport is completely closed. I
SHOULD be on route to the ASAE
technology conference
where I'll be the corporate magician
/ trade show
magician
for TMA Resources,
which is not only a wonderful client, but a wonderful group of business
professionals and friends.

It's looking like the entire show in
going to be canceled at this point which would be a bummer for so many
people. Those like me that want to be there, those that have sponsored
the event and even those that are currently sitting in hotel rooms not
with nothing to do.

The three things we CAN control - out
actions, our attitude and our appearance. Yet all to often we stress
over the things that we simply cannot control. So it looks like I'll be
sitting this one out. So, a tip of the wine glass (or Guinness for
Paul) to my friends at ASAE and TMA Resources. Hope to see you next time
around. I think I'm going to use this "Free" time to go build a
snowman with the girls.
