Busy busy in the NE
Another busy set of days - seminar for Managing Directors at CreditSuisse in NY, then IMS seminars in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and DC, then swinging back through NYC and hooking up with Kathryn for a beautiful October whirlwind Manhattan outing together - Aida, Avenue Q (we have good friends that are investors that got us great seats) and serious shopping. Avenue Q is truly a treat, and I highly recommend you catch it, if you haven't yet. Topping off the good feeling weekend with my sweetie as we caught a late movie - Shall We Dance? (Another of the ilk of Moonstruck for the romantics of us in the crowd!) Then we trained to Boston, and a fabulous public GTD seminar with 100+ folks, from all over the U.S. Lots of stuff going on, just wanted to say hello... and share a picture of my lady with her new sunglasses on the streets of Gotham....

Re-union-ing at New College
Many universes have transpired since we got back from Europe... hopped back on a plane for the east coast, with seminars for Baystate Health Systems, Institute for Management Studies programs in Kansas City and Detroit, some management team offsite consulting for a client in Indiana, back to a seminar through the University of Santa Monica... whew. Actually, I'll be in Ojai about 6 days total in 3 months.... But, it's a good life.
I am sort of taking off this weekend, meeting up with numerous others at my alma mater, New College, in Sarasota, Florida. Very cool little place that was a pioneer in the no-grade, small-class, multi-discipline reaction to the impersonal mega-versity. It's still there, and there's a special event this weekend commemorating the charter classes and those of us that helped start the place back in 1964-66. (I was there 1965-68...heady times!)
Woke up this morning to balmy Gulf breezes, which I love. (Me and the tropics just get along great!) Here's a view a few minutes ago out my balcony at the Radisson...

Shameful use of innocent girls for GTD
The David Allen Company has moved into corporate sponsorship. A racing boat? A Formula I car? No, a girls' robotics team! We now proudly support the LEGO Mountaineers, a creative group of girls, age 9-14, that are preparing to enter the U.S. FIRST Junior Robotics competition. There is a connection - Amy and Wendy Mack, two on the team, are daughters of Eric, our technology guru. Of course Eric has raised them with GTD thinking, and it's pretty cool to see them mind-mapping, making things happen, getting things done, just as an assumed way of life! The team has gotten "official" support from Microsoft, Gyronix, and MindJet, as well. They're even blogging! Check it out. (Go, girls!)
