12 Trout
As you may remember from my last post, we went fishing today. We caught 12 trout.
We got to the spot at about 10:30 and were fishing by 10:45. I left my cell phone in the car and don’t usually wear a watch so I had no idea what time it was after that but we were having fun. I felt a little hungry after a while and then went to check the time. It was now 12:45. We had a snack and kept fishing. Again, no idea what time it was but we were having fun. We finally stopped fishing near 3PM. What a great day.
When is the last time you left your cell phone/pda and just had fun? Most of the time when I play golf I have my pda with me. Most every other time I have it with me too. So, I know what time it is but I am also seeing the incoming emails and phone messages. Even if I don’t answer them I know they are there. Not today. I knew there would be messages but that was not my concern today. Today was about fishing with the kids.
We got back in the car and they watched a video as I returned some calls on the three hour drive. Home in time for fresh trout on the grill.
We all need a day like this from time to time. I am looking forward to my next one. When is yours?

"At first I was a bit skeptical... but you were able to slowly rule over my skepticism with your candid stories, accurate information on ‘true’ leadership and your closing statement. “Here are the tools; I have not given you application but merely the tools to be great leaders.” Your stories about the next generation and not forcing them to “pay their dues” really struck a chord as well as your analysis of generation Y and their constant need for information…"
