Saturday March 1 - I was in Colorado Springs with my new friends MJ and Mike (MJ heard me speak last May at a CUNA conference in Phoenix and we have become buds). We were walking around the Old North End and I was shirtless enjoying the 75 degree sunshine.  I love COS. I hated leaving.Sunday March 2 – I snowboarded at Loveland Ski area in six degree snow storm. I LOVE snowboarding. I hate being cold.Monday March 3 – I spoke to the Credit Union Executive Society in Steamboat Springs, CO. I spoke, snowboarded, and spoke again. I’d LOVE to have every speaking engagement include some X-treme activity. I’d hate to experience the incredible incompetent customer service from Alpine Taxi EVER again. They are the pits.Tuesday March 4-  I worked with new friend Mark at 81 Media on my new demo tape before flying from Denver to Atlanta. I LOVED working with Mark. I hated having the Jeep I was driving towed with made me late to my meeting with Mark. I LOVE my profession that allows me great friends like Colorado based motivational humorist Scott Friedman and motivational speaker/professional speaker friend Patti Wood for whom I bumped into in the Atlanta airport. I hate being gone from my family for five days! BTW, Patti is regularly on CNN and Fox as a body language expert. She analyzes politicians to see when they are lying (boy does she has an EASY job!). She shot a segment on the History Channel today and watched and analyzed Bill Clinton saying, “I did not have sex with that woman!”. Heck, I am not a body language expert but I knew he was lying. I wonder if Hillary did? I love (like maybe) politics. I hate politicians.Wednesday – I drove home from Atlanta with four of the five kids. I loved spending time with them solo. Sometimes it’s a different experience without my wife. I hated missing my wife so much and having her miss this trip due to illness. The kids and I stopped at Chickamauga national battle field and stop by to meet prospective client at Life Care of America headquarters. I LOVE history and meeting new friends. I hate listening to the same old rhetoric over and over again (Obama vs. Hillary).Thursday – I gave a new presentation to a Rotary club and had my awesome new assistant hear me speak live for the first time. Tried some new material and had a lot of fun. I joined Rotary International (their online club!). I LOVE my assistant, Kathy Roth. I hate it that she is moving to Ohio this summer!Friday – I had a visit from Murphy (of Murphy’s Law). He’d been to the office before when I dealt with Charter. This time, he invited his friend O’Toole (who said, “Murphy was an optimist!” to my office. If a company could screw up any more that Charter Communications has screwed up my phone service, I just don’t see how it could be possible. RUN from the offers Charter sends you. I have spent countless hours and wasted ALL kinds of time and money trying to get my internet and phone service all under one roof. Without question, my experience with Charter is the worst customer service I have ever experienced.  I love being challenged to believe what I speak, “On the other side of adversity is ALWAYS something better. I hate it when I can’t find the “something better!”Today – I helped my wife through an awesome birthday party for my little seven year-old. Inspired by Steve Spangler (of Steve Spangler Science), my alter ego, “Dr. Science” made a ’surprise’ visit to the party. We shot Diet Coke up in the air and made snow along with assorted other “science” tricks. Don’t worry, I won’t quit my motivational speaker gig.  I love my little girl.  I hate it when the Diet Coke spills resulting in half the geyser I promised.We thought spring was here but alas a big snow came today which is sending me back to the mountains to ski tomorrow. Of course, Ober Gatlinburg is no Steamboat but hey it beats nothing. I LOVE watching the snow fall down. I hate when it melts.Life is Good in love and in hate. What do you love? What do you hate?
