Nice work Brad. Way to make us slackers feel like - well, slackers.
I think we've talked about it on the phone previously, but I don't remember what the source is of this desire you have to hike at altitude. It's interesting to me because I really have none - and I mean zero - inclination to do so. Granted, there are probably some great views above 14K feet, but that's not enough motivation for me to want to do it.
Are you going to introduce Sasha to your brand of back country single-man tent camping, or the Marc and Jennifer brand 8-man tent with a queen-size inflatable mattress camping?
Jennifer would LOVE for me to quit biting my nails, but I don't see it happening. I've told her (and it's the truth) that I only bite my nails when I'm completely bored, which usually happens in meetings at work. I don't think I can avoid that. I don't know why white fingernail tips look so appetizing!
I really hope it does work out, but Jennifer and i have said for quite a few years that when I retire from the military, we'd like to take six months to a year to travel around the United States and visit national parks. We would do it in some kind of RV (think more Will Smith's Motorhome vice the Christmas Vacation RV) and just freewheel it around the country. I hope it actually pans out.
I used to teach SMART goals back in the Navy Leadership Continuum. Those were the good ole days! I've probably mentioned this before, but the two concepts that I have carried forward from the curriculum and used the most are Blanchard's Situational Leadership II model and Victor Vroom's Expectancy Theory of Motivation. I like the concept of SMART goals, I'm just not very good at doing it! As a side note, I decided to do a search on Situational Leadership, and a training session from Blanchard's company on Situational Leadership runs about $2000, and that's if you're an American Management Association member! Holy smokes!
