am i that expert?

or so it seems to me right now.  there is a number of things on my mind as I explore my next employment opportunity.  i’m an information technology guy, but i think i’m becoming more than that.  i think i’m morphing into the social media strategist that I want to be.

at least i hope so.

i received an email from a local company with national reach.  they were interested in talking to me about this social media position that they are creating.  it’s extremely interesting to me because of it’s broad scope that extends from social media internally & externally to technology solutions associated with the goals of social media efforts.

i’m going for it.

another moment in time

as it so often happens, a quiet moment with time to reminisce. that’s what i have tonight. time to slip in a cd from years ago and simply get a chance to listen to it all the way through.

this time it’s purple rain. geez, how many times listening to different parts of this this cd, heck it was a cassette tape back in 1984 , while cruising along in the car on a summer night. that’s an example that most all of us can remember isn’t it?

sometimes with friends, sometimes just out for a ride all alone. windows down, breeze blowing through the car, tunes rocking out. good memories for sure.

i happened to reach this stage of life in western wisconsin. there were so many back country roads to explore and so many evenings out driving. i think i drove most all of ‘em. at any rate, its the memories related to these old songs that bring a person back.

i had a day

i had a day in which there was pure enjoyment.

i had a day that was crisp, cool, and energetic.

i had a day that allowed me to think.

i had a day that i spent with my family.

i had a day that cannot be compared.

i had a day of experiences that were fulfilling.

…

i had a day that i loved.

thoughts from a summer moment

when i get a chance to sit and reflect, i do. it’s rare in this year that i have that chance, as the moments pass too quickly into history for me. moments like watching the sun shimmer on the water in the late afternoon. or the feel of the breeze over my skin. or the sound of kids having fun a few neighbors down the lake. the smell of everyone grilling dinner.

enjoy yours as i enjoy mine.
