I travel a lot with my job -- "SALESMAN" at heart -- (have you sold anything lately?) -- always looking for the next Marriott to lay my head down until the next city or meeting.
I love spending time with family & friends....never seems to be enough time to unwind before I have to pack and head out again!
I was a handshake a away from meeting Elvis...then he died far too young!
"But I have gotten to meet some other people along the way!"

I grew up in a house filled with Gospel, Country, and Good Ole Rock & Roll.....we would listen to the Grand Ole Opry on WSM Radio or everything from Elvis, Johnny Cash, Imperials, The Florida Boys, Dottie Rambo, Chicago, The Rolling Stones and the Beatles in our home.
Some of my greatest memories was sitting around jammin' with my relatives. All of us passing around the guitars, swapping out drummers on the drums or jumping on the old upright piano -- playing into the way hours of the night. Not sure who played the loudest but it sure was fun!
Yep...I read 'em.
Biographies, Non Fiction, Self-Improvement, History....and the weekly People magazine for the lastest gossip!
They have faced death for their beliefs, risked their own lives to save others: through their example we are am to chart a daily course for our own lives.

The Man Who Counts
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man tumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
The Penalty of Leadership
In every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live in the white light of publicity. Whether the leadership be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at work. In art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the punishment are always the same. The reward is widespread recognition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. When a man’s work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious few. If his work be merely mediocre, he will be left severely alone - if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million tongues a-wagging. Jealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at the artist who produces a commonplace painting. Whatsoever you write, or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass or to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius. Long, long after a great work or a good work has been done, those who are disappointed or envious continue to cry out that it cannot be done. Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him its greatest genius. Multitudes flocked to worship at the shrine of Wagner, while the little group of those whom he had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at all. The little world continued to protest that Fulton could not build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river to see his boat steam by. The leader is assailed because he is the leader, and the effort to equal him is merely added proof of that leadership. Failing to equal or to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy - but only confirms once more the superiority of that which he strives to supplant. There is nothing new in this. It is as old as the world and as old as the human passions - envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the desire to surpass. And it all avails nothing. If the leader truly leads, he remains - the leader. Master-poet, master-painter, master-workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each holds his laurels through the ages. That which is good or great makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. That which deserves to live - lives.
