We&#8217;ve really enjoyed watching five or six episodes at a time of Big Bang Theory.  It&#8217;s one of of new favorite shows!<\/p>\n<p>Was working on my admin duties and got a call from Jesse.  He&#8217;d told me of a TED talk (if you haven&#8217;t visited TED.com to watch the best presentations in the WORLD, you&#8217;re really missing out!) he&#8217;d just watched that was super powerful by a man named Diamantis.  THEN he tells me he&#8217;s on his way to Stanford to hear the guy speak!  WOW!<\/p>\n<p>I wrote him an email telling him to make sure and meet these guys.  Just like I put out the effort to go meet the guys in the band Dr. Dog.  I&#8217;d just hit the send button and I noticed that a picture had popped up on my phone.  It&#8217;s a picture of Jesse and Dr. Diamantis! That&#8217;s my boy!<\/p>\n<p>We talked on the phone for over two hours.  It&#8217;s about 1:30am now.  Told him I needed to finish up the blog and rest.  We sure do enjoy each others company. I reckon that&#8217;s one reason why we&#8217;re ok with him being in California.  We still keep in touch and that makes ALL the difference!<\/p>\n<p>Finishing up my admin duties and resting soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a great time with my team from Virginia Tech today!
