is really looking forward to ringing in the New Year, and starting on his goals for the year. Happy New Year all!

just enjoyed a big bowl of his wife's pea soup with cheese buns. I knew she was beautiful, sweet and fun but the cooking is a bonus!

is heading to the office, then 9 at Riverview, then back to the office for more catch-up work. Downside of being away I guess.

is super irritated with border security after an hour and a half in line. Why aren't we profiling, when the bad guys are always the same?

is heading back to Cali shortly and ready to wring the last bits of productivity from 2009 before putting the year to bed.

is back on his laptop after more than 2 days away. Can't remember the last time that happened...

is enjoying the white Christmas and looking forward to the Eve. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

is catching up, long flight here but here nonetheless. Only -16 C today, positively balmy!

woke up in a winter wonderland. Edmonton is teasing us, -2 when we arrived yesterday and now -15. Suckaaaaa!

is enjoying an unplanned night in Edmonton, courtesy of WestJet. At least it's warmed up some for us...

has braved the crowds and is waiting for boarding at LAX. Strangely enough, the lines for Canada-bound flights were very short! ;-)

is on fumes but loves the feeling. This time tomorrow we'll be braving the holiday lines at LAX.

thinks today was a kick butt and chew bubble gum day, and wouldn't you know it - flat out of gum. On to Carson for the last of the day...

is one appointment through his hell day this week. Next - webinar, appointment, appointment, gifts to Eli Home, investor meeting in Carson.

is checking out oGoing (www.ogoing.com), seems intriguing. Like Twitter but with more features. Check it out!

found an extra day this week, which is great, but the downside is that I could have sworn today was Thursday.

had a great time at the Access Executive Network (www.accessen.org) Christmas party tonight. Chaparosa Grill at the District rocks!

is heading to Sandler Sales, sharpening the saw.

is excited and relieved, Kristie finally got her green card today! One step closer... :-)

is nailing down details on a defined benefit plan for a client, saving him over $80K in taxes. Needless to say, he's thrilled...

has a mountain of work piled up for an office today, and is looking forward to checking items off.

's wife is all dressed up for the Ball, and she looks incredible! I feel like I'm in The Princess and the Frog. ;-)

is looking forward to the Eli Home Christmas Ball tonight, all dressed up for a great cause. Be there or be square...

is tearing it up. Be nice to lay my head down tonight knowing I left it all on the court. Uh, I mean, office floor...

just had a great morning meeting, now office time before lunch meeting and prospect appointment at 3:30. (relatively) Chilly out...

had an awful night's sleep, those winds were nuts! Pushing through today, back to back to back as usual...

is loving the rain and an office day to get all caught up. This is going to be a great week!

has realized that he actually enjoys USC losing more than he enjoys UCLA winning. So long to your AP ranking streak, Trojans...

is placing Eli Home gift request stockings for the holidays - THANK YOU to all of you who have sponsored a child and/or are volunteering.

had a great round at Strawberry this morning despite playing awful. Now back to the grind...

needs your help - Eli Home needs warehouse space (about 5,000 sq. ft.) for Dec. 14 - Jan. 7 to house and wrap gifts for needy kids. Help!!

is heading out and about again. Great time last night, FORE Christmas party tonight. We're in the December sprint...

is halfway through a manic day, looking forward to networking at Taleo's patio tonight. If you're in the area between 5:30-7:30, stop by!

survived the Immigration office, hopefully they do what they say and we'll be out of the woods by the end of the year.

is trying to save up his patience for a visit to the Immigration folks today. I intend that all the horror stories end today.
