busy-busy...

i've been pretty busy lately. an army class in denver on thursday and friday (so i was working late tues and weds at the civilian job, trying to get things scared away), other army stuff on saturday. a leg of the denver marathon this morning and then i flew to philly tonight. although i'm out of town, i think i'll catch up on some rest and sleep this week. i think this week will just be normal 8 hr workdays, which i need.

yesteday was fun. as i've said before there's a couple of these kids who are going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into adulthood. they're interesting leadership challenges. it's amazing how many of them refuse to take personal responsibility for things. they're excellent excuse makers. i frequently wonder if their parents are actually aware of how spoiled and unprepared for adulthood some of these kids are.

hope everyone had a great weekend!

Good Sunday evening to you, Sean !

I suspect that the children get thier attitudes from their parents, unfortunately.

Taking personal responsibility for your choices and actions are the things that separate the effective people who do the best they can to use the intelligence and integrity they have -- from the ones who constantly repeat their mistakes and blame everyone else or circumstances for them.

A leadership challenge indeed. I'm impressed in advance if you are able to work with them and make a difference.

And you did a leg of the Denver Marathon on top of that ??? Cupcake, you rock.

Hope you have a great week!!

Good luck with ushering those young ones into adulthood.
I suspect they're going to be in for the shock of their lives once reality sets in..
