Scootzilla has WHEELS

The Scoots came this week while I was gone. OF COURSE! Well Desiree, Will, Johnny, and Bill spent time getting the pieces in place. Desiree put it in my office this week so I literally walked into my office and the SCOOTS WAS IN THERE!! It's so cute I can barely stand to know it's outside.

Chris made it home from the big post grad school trip. Whew.

ABI turned out to be a fantastic experience. The panels were great, and the whole experience was really good. We met lots of great peeps, and got to play the Riverside Golf Course, it was awesome. Well maybe 13 holes of the course, and I know I can be a little dramatic, but there was a little rain, and a little more rain, and we decided to go into the shelter. So we're in the shelter it's raining a little harder, the wind picks up, we're all hiding behind a post and some bigger dudes. We decide as a group to go into the building that has the bathrooms in it. Just as we do I'm not sh*tting you the tables and chairs flew 15 feet in the air and across the entire patio.

There were a few people that fell down because the dummies seal coated the patio and didn't think about soft spikes on that slick surface, combined with a few beers, and 50 mile an hour winds. Jeepers. We were all soaked, 25 of us hanging out in the bathroom on the course, we sent some sucker out to get the cooler while we waited out the storm, and he actually did it. Talk about a team building experience with some professionals around the state. It was neat.

My partner Tim Johnston from DSM was awesome, and we actually took on some guys after we weathered the storm, and WON! Ham and Egg, it was great. Scott Carpenter and Nate Weaton stayed out during the storm in a corn crib, idiots. Sid and Tom tied one on at the Leadership Iowa graduation, it was so fun to meet young professionals from Iowa that are passionate about the state, and their businesses.  I even ran into an old college buddy who deserves congrats, Stu and Sonja are expecting in five weeks!  


By the end of the week, I was wearing clothing and people knew my name and we'd all become friends. No more staring for the wrong reasons, unless we were the loudest group there having the most fun, then it was probably warrented.

ZZZOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!
