California - home to fish tacos, my best friend, SPL, immediate and extended family, walk-in closets the size of my NYC bedroom and a brand new Biola graduate!
Congratulations! You’ll never have to see some of those people EVER AGAIN!

The guys gave us baby plants last month. The biggest one has since decided to hug the pot, a decision I think guided by the weird lighting I’ve placed it in.
I’m moving next week to what I’m going to pretend is my first New York apartment because Stuy Town doesn’t really count, and I plant(o) buy some fragrant friends for these guys.

Does anyone want to walk around Manhattan with me on Cinco de Mayo? 7 AM - 7 PM, 32 miles, $25 registration for two people. Let me know!
Author Buzz Bissinger of Friday Night Lights named his sequel After Friday Night Lights. …In less underwhelming Buzz Bissinger news, I’ll be seeing him (along with Malcolm Gladwell! and Tim Green and Jason Whitlock!) next month at an Intelligence Squared debate!

“I saw them way before they were cool” -> “I saw him way after he died.” Also, her tats look like chest hair.

Focus on the leave-behinds not the take-aways: The best communicators are not only skilled at learning and gathering information while communicating, they are also adept at transferring ideas, aligning expectations, inspiring action, and spreading their vision. The key is to approach each interaction with a servant’s heart. When you truly focus on contributing more than receiving you will have accomplished the goal. Even though this may seem counter-intuitive, by intensely focusing on the other party’s wants, needs & desires, you’ll learn far more than you ever would by focusing on your agenda.
I’m usually not a fan of Forbes, but number four of Mike Myatt’s 10 Communication Skills of Great Leaders is fantastic.
