Great Expectations, Meaningful Experiences: A Privileged Summer

For those of you wondering what's happened to my postings in July & August, (there must be a few of you?!) here's the scoop: It's been an intense and remarkable time for growth.

July saw significant client activity with excellent fact gathering & decision making on multiple fronts. Sandwiched in there was a memorable fly-in fishing trip to Canada with my friend and church pastor.

August began with virtually continuous client work. Two consecutive days were interspersed involving sponsorship of the Chicago Book Clinic & Printing Industries of Wisconsin golf outings. It was an honor to support two fine organizations. The month then ended in grand fashion with Wendy's & my delayed honeymoon on a Mediterranean cruise.

OK, so what? Why do I call it "A Privileged Summer?" Although I had virtually no free time, I was doing what I love and do best - helping good clients get better. Wonderful people surrounded me - my clients, my friend, and my wife. Much was learned - diverse points of view, each with merit; humility; finding goodness in many things; and getting closer to my Christian roots through visits to Corinth, Ephesus, and Rome.

So yes, it has been a wonderful two months, but it's now September. What comes next?
