Monday, Monday

Greetings from Tribeca, NYC. Quick blog post during my lunch hour. My boss is out this week on a business trip to Hawaii (pronounced "Ha-wa-ee-ee) and left me in charge. Probably a coincidence, but every person in the office - including yours truly - was at least five minutes late, which would drive him nuts, but whatever. I reported that all were present and accounted for at the appropriate time. I crossed my fingers while typing that update. Tricky, but I pulled it off.

Day two of Mackey's Healthy Challenge started with a run around the neighborhood and a few laps around the soccer field. Felt pretty good considering I hadn't run in over a week. Listened to a few songs by Rush off their Permanent Waves CD. Manly music for a manly activity. Made myself a healthy smoothie for breakfast - blueberries, blackberries and cranberries, OJ, low-fat plain yogurt and two supplements - a Green powder and some Psyllium to help the motor run smoothly. Had a cup of coffee, Kashi cereal in the office, and about to have an Icelandic yogurt for lunch. A lean mean fighting Mackey machine...

A dear friend of mine is sick today and I'm sending her healing vibes via text and email. Hope they work. I miss her and wish there was more I could do to help her feel better and get back on her feet again. She's a trooper and pushes herself so hard. A rock star in all ways, but she needs support and comfort during these rough stretches. Wish I could be there to provide both.

I have a few client calls later on today - one is going to be tricky. I better shift into prep mode for them.

I like being in charge and think I'm doing a good job so far. Lots of pep talks, energy, enthusiasm, pats on the back. Hope it all has the desired effect. If not, I'll hear about it.

Hope all is well in your part of the world. Please leave comments - haven't heard from any of you in a very long time. Welcome your feedback, thoughts and stories.

Love,
Billy
