What’s Up?<\/h3>\n

More work on the audit. Almost done. Another sunny day swim and another great ice bath (though not as cold as last night’s). Try this on for size: when I am away from home without ice baths I get up almost every hour to make a pit stop. Not good. As soon as I get home and take my first ice bath I consistently sleep four hours and then three or four more after just the one pit stop. <\/p>\n

B&H Event Space Programs<\/h3>\n

Denise and I are offering three great B&H Event Space programs on Wednesday October 14. We’d love to see each and every one of you there but the space is extremely limited to no more than 80 folks. If you would like to meet us, learn a ton, see lots of inspiring images, and get to ask questions, you need to register online. Registration is free, but you will need to register for each program separately. We hope to see you there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If You Miss Them…<\/h3>\n

The full day program will surely be worth a long drive or a flight or two. If, however, you cannot make it into the city the plan is to have each program captured on video and available online at some point. Please do not ask when. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
