Her…

Her….

Her presence invokes all that’s good in me, therefore I am bound to set a ripe example.

Her existence makes me smile in the most torrent of situations.

When my focus is coupled with moods intense, Her embrace ushers calm.

I treasure Her like sight.

Because of Her, my vision is purpose and clear with certainty.

My reasoning is filtered pure by Her passion and compassion for the good in life.

I will deny Her no good thing.

I Love Her…

For those that know me I often speak of “Memories & Moments”. Well here is a good one. Sometimes it’s not so much the company, but it’s actually the people that breed loyalty…

Business Travel Flow…

Image 1 Comment

Not sure what this is so funny to me. Click link for video.
Check it out, moving between gates…

 

 
Business travel is sometimes funny IF, and only if you are in a comedic mood. I have a great. Most times I am and I mostly laugh at travelers. All the weird quirks and mannerisms to include:

  1. nose picking
  2. booger eating
  3. eye booger picking
  4. sneezing or coughing in hands followed by wiping on pants
  5. General body part scratching (men and women, you would be amazed)
  6. the directionally challenged
  7. etc…

For me it’s pretty much a routine and methodical. It’s like a executing a well drafted plan. Even when things go wrong I always have a plan and a routine. I’m rarely frustrated or angry. 

So today I’m on my way to YYZ (Toronto) and because I have priority I’ve boarded first. But as always I end up with many butts and crotches way to close for comfort and everyone and then my shoulder gets molested… (laughing). Seriously folks boarding the plane bump me with luggage coats, kids, and crotches…. Yep… It’s all a pet of the travel flow!

On my way again

Image 4 Comments

Well I’m on my wa again… I struggled with crossing my legs because of my knee surgery. It was horrible trying to sit normal and take this dang pic. Here is my first one which is my normal pic. The problem is that you can see the knee sleeve through my slacks and it’s apparent that the knee to leg ratio is way off. 
  
So I decided to cross the other way and it was equally as painful. Uhhhg!!! But I managed to get my travel pic so in happy now… So here it is… 

  
Don’t judge me… I’m just the guy that trying his best to “Make Good Donuts”!

Starbucks in the Storm

Leave a comment

So yeah… Flooding everywhere and a major rain weather event going on in Columbia, SC. My hotel ceiling is leaking…
  
It looks like this weather is gonna be around for the next 10-12 hrs… 

   
The news is reporting as if it’s the end of the world. I mean really, I’m from Miami. We deal with storms all the time. And yes even in Miami, folks still try to drive through high flood waters… Duh!!!

 

 
But me… I love bad weather. It kind of does something to me. Lol… That’s all I’m going to say about that! So I left the hotel and thanks goodness that Starbucks is open. 

  
So kudos to Starbucks except that the barista wrote my name as “Jonathan” instead of “Johnnie”. Man I hate that!!! It’s really a pet peeve of mine. Anyway, I’m chilaxing and enjoying my headache free rainy morning”double smoked bacon & cheddar” breakfast sandwich and “grande soy caramel latte” at Starbucks while chatting on FB & Twitter and people watching. 

It’s gonna be a good day!

On the way to CLT…

Yaaaaaaaay!!!!!


So excited to see some of my favorite folks on the planet. Arrived at the airport, flew through security (cause I got it like that), grabbed some unnecessary calories….. Mmmmmmm sooo good!!!

I took my travel pose….


Oh yeah, I may not have mentioned that my knee is a bit embattled after all the wins on the Bball court this morning. Yep, I still got it even with damaged cartilage. But the Dr’s little custom contraption works well enough for me not to die after a long morning of kicking ass.


So now, my QuiteComfort headset is on and me and Bob Marley are lost in rythms. It’s gonna be an easy flight… See ya shortly in CLT!

Loving life!!
