Memorial Day
We had a great time celebrating Memorial Day - I think we made it to at least two barbeques and an evening of playing games with family. The food was great, the time with friends and family was great, and it was just nice to have a long weekend.
Kristen also turned a year older this weekend. I learned long ago you don’t publicly discuss a woman’s age or weight - so yes, she’s 19 again this year. We had a great time hanging out - we ran down to Thousand Oaks and spent the day checking out a few shops before ending up in Santa Barbara. We intended to grab a nice dinner at The Beachside Restaurant, but Kristen started to feel a little ill so we swung by Borders and headed home early.
I also picked up John Wooden’s latest book: Wooden on Leadership, which I am very excited to start reading. He’s one of the few leaders I look up to who has lead as much with character as with competence. That combination seems increasingly rare these days, and I like to surround myself with role models who have found a way to be consistently competent while exhibiting character and integrity.
