Had a fun lunch with my whole family–even Miles!

I enjoyed speaking Swahili to Mr. Patel, the owner of Vikhyat, my favorite Indian food place.

Rest of the day was spent going from one mission to another, confirming work with managers. Many of them are new, even some new owners, so it’s always a challenge.

I’m about 75% confirmed now on the 34 locations that we’ll be covering June 21-24. Still in negotiations with several companies. Takes time, no short cut for doing this.

Enjoyed watching the season premier of Burn Notice with Kathy tonight. Great to see Michael Westin back in action!

Back to admin work, speaking of action.

Jesse and I had a productive day today!

We’re getting ready for the big groups in town from Texas. Today we nailed down the missions they’ll be serving in around Clarkston and Decatur.

We talked to the managers at Elite at Avondale Crossing, Oak Forest, Kensington Manor, Southern Pines and Woodside Village to name a few!


Came home and ran 2 miles.

K and I enjoyed watching the Lie to Me season premier. GREAT show!

Another warning sign that got my attention!

Don’t diet! Get these instead!

Got back last night from my trip to NYC!

Had a great time. Went to a language conference. Learned how to better communicate with people. Very useful! I think Igor Ledochowski is a genius in his field.

Had fun in the evenings. High points included seeing Conan Obryan in his Banned from TV tour.

Saw several of my favorite paintings including Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol, Starry Night by Van Gogh and Persistance of Memory by Salvador Dali!

Also one of my favorite musicals, Hair!

Here’s a picture with the star, Ace Young. Remember him from American Idol? He rocked as Berger.

Ran miles and miles around NYC including a new favorite around Chinatown and over the Brooklyn Bridge.

One on of my runs I saw this guy. Maybe you know who he is!

Jesse and I took our Lumina to get the oil changed, emission sticker and the car checked before he heads to New Hampshire in a couple of weeks.

T & G does a good job for us!

Picked up a case for my new iPad which will delivered on the 16th. Looking forward to that!

While we were at the mall I saw my nephew David Doverspike. Groovy!

We went to Azalea to check on the kids.

They seem to be enjoying their holiday and the team from the Atlanta Chinese Christian Church!

I dropped Jesse off at the house then went on to Lawrenceville to do a presite visit with the staff from Oak Hill BC at three missions: Olde Salem, Cherokee Courts and Alexander Mill.

Also spent some time at the bookstore on the way home!

I liked this sign!

And this is what it seems like I hear this day.

I thought this was beauty!
