NAA ATS

We had a great day today. Seven students enrolled in the Auction Technology Specialist course put on by the NAA. Some were old friends, some are now new. I’m looking forward to the next three days.

I just ate with John and Sara Grahm. It was the first time I’ve met my newest first cousin once removed, Maggie. Maggie is short for Margrett, and her brother is Will and sister is Ainsley. That’s right, folks, now they just need to have Josiah, Leo, Josh, Donna, Toby, Claudia, Charlie, Amy and Kate to be an Aaron Sorkin tribute family. Better get crackin’, John.

I’m relaxing to HBO, which is kindly airing John Adams for me. Its oratory often resembles Deadwood without the sex and violence. Truly not quite as good, it does serve as the best replacement so far to the ill-fated, canceled series.

Is it me or does Sarah Lacy look like Justine Joli?

Tonight I leave for Kansas City to start teaching the Auction Technology Specialist course tomorrow morning. Robert Mayo and I made a ton of progress on Wednesday whipping the course material into shape. I’m really excited and honored to get to teach this first, innaugural class.

Now that Moses is dead, can we finally repeal the second commandment?

I wrote this on Tuesday.

Going to Kansas City this morning to work on stuff for the NAA. I spent a ton of time working on the new auction technology specialist course, only to ave the majority of my changes not included in the final version.

It really needs edited. One slide has “Website” and “website” in the same title, while another discusses including “bio’s” on a site.

We went to Wildcat Creek on Sunday after playing golf on the Xbox for three hours to try to play golf in real life. I still haven’t swung my set of Ping irons since I got it last summer. While the course was already closed, we did hit the driving range. I put a hurt on the guy driving the ball sucker truck, as my 100 yard line drive doinked him square in the drivers door. I felt bad, not because I was trying to hit him, but because it was the best shot I had all day.

After the golf, we hit the batting cage. i haven’t swung a bat since I played base ball in high school, and while I today can’t lean over to tie my shoe without horrific pain, doing so felt so good I may go back.

Diane and I watched the Kansas v. Memphis game last night on our new 56″ 1080p HDTV with a standard-definition signal. It made me want to cry, knowing how good the screen could look had we purchased HD cable.
