Fast forward...fabulous day...
Back from London. 24-hour chill in Ojai. Back to Hartford and New York for IMS seminars. Then a hop back to Minneapolis for our first GTD RoadMap in that fun city. What a full-bore, all-out day today, in a wonderful place that I'm just starting to get a feel for/sense of. Small, big town. Very networked.
140+ people in our seminar, on the 50th floor of the IDS center... nice. Incredibly diverse mix of sophisticated people from all kinds of corporate, healthcare, and service orgs.


And then, after a great dinner at Dakota, a fun and great-food jazz club/restaurant downtown, we found ourselves entranced by an incredible Cuban jazz group playing there, led by Nachito Herrera. Finally left after their last set. Wow. Nachito does stuff with the piano I've never heard before, and his 15-yr-old daughter belts Latin stuff out with a purity and panache I've also never heard before. Find these guys. Awesome.

Nachito Herrera, his daughter, his group...

Thanks again for yesterday in Minneapolis (from Shar Kannan's developer friend: SkyscapeCondos.com). 2 Points: 1- I appreciated that you really gave yourself and your material to us. Mind Like Water is the goal and from that place we can truly move toward our personal greatness. I am seeing ways to do more, to have more time with my kids (3 boys and a girl under the age of 7). I manage real estate developments in several cities and needed this system like I need water to drink. I am finally approaching getting ahead of the 'urgent curve'. 2- Your wife Katheryn was incognito as your seminar coordinator (that type of humulity and grace scares me). She was so kind and welcoming I felt bad that I did not get a chance to greet her as who she is: your rudder. Thank her and thank you.
P.S. When you buy a book at Barnes and Noble and then later meet the author you are sometimes disappointed with the gap between how well they write and who they are, not so here... MG

David,
Wonderful, invigorating and full of energy. Thanks for a great revitalization of GTD. I've been waiting a couple of years for the opportunity to attend one of the seminars and it didn't disappoint. David commented during the seminar about things that immediately change your focus, like if an elderly parent needs your help. I had to rush my father to the emergency room on Sunday he was released Wednesday the evening before the seminar. All week I was reprioritizing to spend time with my dad and handle the critical can't wait work items. GTD helped.
I spent 8 years in Ventura County, just down the road from Ojai, David's backyard so to speak. It was nice having David in mine. Thanks again David!
