Too Many Places and Too Many Faces. Thank goodness for Jimmy Buffett on the Ipod, the only constant over the last month!

Raleigh & Charlotte NC for the NCAA's and tons of research, Miami for the Sony Ericson Tennis tournament and the chance to see the real estate carnage for myself (it is a myth, see below that town is catch fire again, soon), mixed with trips to Flint and a couple of meetings in Columbus Ohio. Man, I am tired.

The trip has been awesome, the knowledge gained has been awesome. Some great things to bring back to town and make a difference. The world is an interesting place right now, but there are some brilliant people working on great things and I have been fortunate to have some very humbling conversations with a lot of them. Some were scheduled meetings, some were inn airplanes, over breakfast or at a Starbucks. Wherever I was I have had a chance to meet some people that let me know opportunity is everywhere if you are prepared ( my kids start Mandrin Chinesse lessons next week!).

Anyway, two more months of outstanding stuff...More Raleigh, more Charlotte, more Miami, more Columbus, more Flint, and Washington DC and New York, New York (no Reba not Flaves girl) before ending the tour on June 2 at Van Halen at Van Andel.

Biggest Suprise of the trip so far: Having breakfast next to Serena Williams at the Ritz in Key Biscane, Flint girl has done well for herself.

Biggest Disappointment: Being in Miami finding out Jeff Roth make the Champions Tour event in the Domican Republic and not having my passport.

Most Fun: Calling Repo Suave and listening to him complain about snow while I was in short sleeves!

I am off to stare at the departure signs...
