Friday, December 12, 2014   What a long day. After only four hours sleep, I freshened up with a shower and then I packed so I’d be ready for my flight home. I went downstairs to meet Danny in the lobby. We secured a large table in the restaurant and prepared our presentations for the […]

Thursday, December 11, 2014   Today was our big event. After only a few hours sleep, I woke to go for a run around the hotel’s perimeter. When I saw that people were already getting into the hotel’s convention center, I realized that I would have to postpone my run. I needed to return to […]

Wednesday, December 10, 2014   I worked from home in the early morning because I had to get things together for the trip to Orlando. My flight was scheduled to leave at 2:00 in the afternoon, but I had an enormous amount of work to complete because of the last-minute change, with Luke not going. […]

Tuesday, December 9, 2014   Late in the afternoon today I learned that Luke would not be able to accompany me to Orlando. He is the father of four young boys and family obligations were going to hold him back. Ok. That mean I would make the entire presentation. I would not only educate the […]

Saturday, December 6, 2014   Today I woke early for a light run. Then I made the two hour drive back to Palm Springs for the live event. I really wanted to present last night, but I didn’t have any control over when I would present. I didn’t mind the long drive. I’ve been listening […]

Friday, December 5, 2014   Today I drove to Palm Springs for the purpose of a live event. Our company has a very successful sales and marketing strategy with its advertising campaign. But we’ve not had a live-event strategy. Conversations I’ve had with the principals of the company got us started in this direction. Today […]

Thursday, December 4, 2014   In February I’ll be the keynote speaker at a symposium that UC Hastings Law School is hosting on Federal Sentencing Reform. I’m looking forward to the opportunity. I am scheduled to be the closing speaker, and the speakers before are really distinguished. The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of […]
