Sox Win, First Items Get Added to the List

Today I went through first round of mock judging for the Eggo EFFIE.  Went fine, going to end up re-writing more than I thought I would.  No big deal, still over a week to complete it.

Came home, threw on the Sox game.  It was the one game playoff between us and Minnesota for the AL Central.

Great game pitched by Denks, and Thome hit the only homer and the Sox took the Division 1-0.  Best part were the calls with Reidy, TK and Andy afterwards.  One of those few games in the season that are sort of a riot act; do or die games happen less often than you think.

Adding the first two items to the list as well today.  Was debating getting a bike, but that's simply a commitment to stopping in and spending money.  So, looking at it in terms of value added I'm adding only the following two:

1.  Learn to play guitar, ideally at Old Town School of Folk Music

2.  Begin writing my story down.

I'd like to have both in progress by this time next week.  Heading to the Cubs 1st playoff game tomorrow night.  Should be fun.

Time to start getting productive

Started my 9th year at Leo Burnett today, more or less a third of my life.  And probably arguable that its about half of one would say are years in which you have the opportunity to be "productive".  Mixed feelings on this one.

I spent the good majority of the day in the office by myself because almost all of the other Kellogg's team members were out of the office at the Morning Foods marketing conference.  Not a bad thing.  Certainly different.

I've been making myself lists of things to do at work for all of those nine years.  And not just a little, pretty religiously.  Proof is in the stack of moleskin notebooks stacked next to my desk.  Thinking about it, its a good strategy, forces you to keep things top of mind.

Going to start making myself lists of things to accomplish that isn't work related.  Going to start getting more productive.  No list to generate right now, but definitely still on that list... buy a new digital camera.
