Tim in Seattle for IMCA Conference

I left early Sunday morning on the 6am flight. That sure put a damper on the weekend. I was able to get an exit row seat which made sleeping a bit more comfortable.


As I looked out the window at Mt. Rainier, an avalanche of memories come upon me of climbing that mountain with dad a couple years ago. They were generally good although I did have a feeling of nausea and dehydration come back to me pretty clearly.

I arrived in Seattle, cabbed it to the hotel and went over to setup for the conference. I then enjoyed some Bang Bang Chicken at The Cheesecake Factory after which I walked over to REI and browsed for a little while. The next few days will be spent hustling in the conference hall.

A walk around downtown Seattle. The trees are painted blue.

Relay for Life

Staying up all night isn't as easy as it seems! Success Academy put together a team to walk for relay. We walked all night long. It got cold around 3 am, but we made it through taking turns walking the track. There were about 50 people on our team, raising at least $1250 for breast cancer. On Friday night we hung out with the starwars crew for a bit. I was as tired as I have ever been in my life all day Saturday!

Meet Yeah Samake, the future president of Mali - an AMAZING person and life story

Election day is July 7 and this man is going to win. I invited Yeah to come into our SLC office today to share his remarkable story with the Wasatch team. He did a great job and hopefully will see some contributions.

Spring is here!

The cactus in the backyard is blossoming. These last for about 3 days and then they die and fall off.
