Moments

Today I almost burst into tears at work. I had just come back from speaking to a corporate group on the 19th floor at AT & T downtown. A homeless man held the door for me, as usual, as I entered. But as he passed, he had a small carry-on suitcase in tow. It's probable that everything he owned in the world was in that small purple case. And that struck me. I hurt for him.

I kept my composure, but again it was a deep reminder of why I'm here.

Now, for a TOTAL change of subject.
This weekend we celebrated Neubia's birthday by having dinner at a great soul food restaurant, followed by more dancing. At the end of the evening, we had a moment straight out of a movie. Neubia got the heel of her shoe stuck in a street grate. When she tried to pull her foot out, she fell straight to the ground and took Maike with her. It was hilarious in a way I can't even describe, especially considering she had a chili dog in hand.

That night was the most fun I've had in months, and I thought I'd share some photos with you.

Haha. That's classic. And it doesn't look like the chili dog was damaged either. Excellent job.
