This is a synopsis from Eric Karjaluoto’s post titled Random Observations.

1. People need simple rules
2. Surround yourself with people who are better than you
3. Choice and outcome
4. Talk to your clients like they are your spouse
5. Perception is sometimes more relevant than actuality
6. Set the bar high
7. Busy-ness as a path to nowhere
8. Take a moment
9. Today’s problems
10. They won’t shoot you

Hopefully the list above is enough of a teaser to entice you to read Eric’s full post. It’s worth the time.

Last week was our annual family “vacation” in Ft. Morgan, AL. I put quotes around vacation because this year that word has a whole new meaning. For the last 30 years of my life, vacations were mostly relaxing, although few and far between. Well, now with the addition of my daughter to the family, we take shifts chasing her around. She’s a blast to chase. It’s also very inspiring for me to just watch her watch the world. At her age, almost everything is a learning experience.

My wife and I took about 2000 pictures over the week. Keeping with my Rule of Almost 10, I have picked out my 12 favorites. Click the image below to jump to the Flickr set.

All shots were taken with a Canon 40D using either a Canon 10-22 or a 28-135 lens. Edits and organization were done with Adobe Lightroom 2 Beta.

The surgery on my elbow went well according to the bow tie wearing doctor. He has really been great and to-the-point, which is exactly what I asked for. I would highly recommend him for this procedure.

Three to six weeks and it’ll be back to 100%. Maybe then I’ll be able to ride for more than 20 minutes without my arm wanting to fall off.
