REFLECTIONS
- The 2019 Baseball Playoffs in October were awesome. Congrats to Washington Nationals for winning the World Series.
- October 31 was a very sad day for me and my family. It was one year ago that my Mom passed away. I really miss her a lot.
- Christy had a teacher's conference in Palm Spring the weekend before Thanksgiving and I was able to tag along. It was very relaxing and we had some great food.
- Thanksgiving this year was excellent. It rained a lot so we did not play our annual Thanksgiving Two-Hand Touch game. Hopefully we will get to play on Christmas.
CHVRCHES
My favorite band was in town in early November. It was a great concert. Some thoughts on the show at CHVRCHES FAN PODCAST.
TECHNOLOGY AND TIPS
Two big conferences I have attended in 2019 -- GTD Summit & M Conference -- have stressed the need for quite and solitude in our daily lives. Doing so increases effectiveness and productivity. This article on "Solitude and Leadership" is definitely worth reading or listening to the audio version.

FUTURE STUFF THAT I AM EXCITED ABOUT
- Christmas!
QUOTE I'M THINKING ABOUT
"No man steps in the same river twice" - Heraclitus
I also found all these great quotes from the start of each Star Wars: The Clone War Series.
Steve - love the Heraclitus quote! This means go to one of your favorite places again or read one of your favorite books again.... it will be a new experience next time, because we will not be the same as we were the first time.
A lot to think on.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
