Sorry for Being a Slacker…
I apologize for not doing an update sooner and for not writing back e-mails. I have been really busy with work, with travelling and with life. I am like a month behind on e-mails. I have been getting frantic e-mails from folks wondering if I am OK because they haven’t heard from me. I am alive, well, and kickin’. Just busay. I just bought a Palm VIIx (they are now on sale for $199!) which has wireless e-mail, so that should help me manage my e-mail load. I will be able to do e-mail on the bus in the morning and at night, and also when I am away on the weekends. My apologies again.
DC, Philly, DC again…oh, and that PET Scan thing…
Last weekend I was in DC helping out the Connection as they travelled in from Youngstown to perform at the America Sings! festival at the Washington Monument. It was an experience, let me tell you, reliving my high school days of staying up late, getting up early, and working hard all day long. We had a great time, the group performed wonderfully, and I before leaving I got to see my friends and family done in the DC area, who I haven’t seen in months.
This weekend I am off to Philly to see my brother Frank, his fiancee Heather and other friends graduate from Penn. Another fun weekend trip, if you Philly peeps want to hang out, give a yell.
In two weeks I am off to the ‘burbs of DC for a Gen X leadership conference with some folks from Redeemer, my church here in NYC. I am very stoked for that trip and look forward to learning a lot.
In between the latter two, I have my PET Scan on May 29th. I imagine I will get the results a week later. Those are the days to look for my next update, and the days to be prayin’ hard. The node on my neck is still hangin’ around. My lung feels better and my left leg is gradually improving. I can go until about 6pm without any leg pain or gimping, then it hits and I have a limp. Progress, my friends, progress.
At Goldman Sachs, I am working 8-10 hour days, which is a good balance. Not too much to wear me out, but just enough to keep me busy. I am really enjoying my work now, as I do some curriculum research and development on cool topics in leadership, personality and life skills.
Up next
I will respond to your emails, if not this weekend, next weekend when I am free.
I will post an update the week after my PET Scan with the dealio.
I will post some more insightful learnings, when I get a chance.
You will pray big time in two weeks.
You will e-mail me and love me, despite my failings at writing back 🙂
