Ten Years Old and new book

WOW! Nolan is ten - crazy how fast time goes by. He is getting taller and will be entering the fifth grade. That's my baby! He is an awesome kid. Happy Birthday to you - Nolan!

I went to Borders and bought three "Fish!" books. Guess who was making a special guest appearance - HOOBASTANK! Matt went and saw them perform live at Borders this afternoon.

A friend at work told me how she would like to develop the "Fish Philosophy". It is a quick read that I cannot wait to implement. "Fish!" is a parable takes place in Seattle at the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market. 110 pages of ways to get staff a morale boost and very energizing.
I was so exciting I am on another book called "Fish! Sticks". I highly recommend this book to any manager, supervisor, director, VP etc. These books are so powerful some of my direct reports may get them for Christmas. If you work in an environment that is suffering this is a must have book.

I can't believe Nolan is 10 either - I remember when you went on maternity leave from work!!

It was great to see you the other night - we definitely need some "girl" time soon!

Thanks for the recommendations on the books - look like a "must read" to me!!!
