Summer!

My wife and I finished our Master Cleanse after eight days. It definitely went by easier the second time around. I noticed getting dizzy after standing up quickly after lying in bed or sitting for a long period of time, but other than that things went pretty smoothly. Coming off the Cleanse wasn’t so easy as we had two banquets over the weekend rather than easing back into food (which I would not advise).

I spent yesterday watching the NBA finals with my son who had just finished his exams. He turns eight years old today, but enjoys basketball. I remember watching the earlier Celtics / Lakers competitions with my own dad some twenty or so years ago. This time around, the Celtics blew out the Lakers (my parents are in LA) and to my surprise, they showed a video called “Gino” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JPA_L7bRSo).

I’ve been planning a trip to Banff where I will be speaking in July. Although I’ve given talks before at conferences, this will be the first talk that I give where the tickets are available from Ticketmaster (http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/1100409EE286ACA6). My wife and kids will also be joining and we will be doing some hiking there. I also plan on bringing the kids to see the glaciers (while they still exist) and dinosaur museum in Drumheller.

I’ve started teaching Recovering Creativity again during the weekend. Am trying some new things with the course (7 weeks, 4 hours per week vs. 14 weeks, 2 hours per week). I’ve got a great group this term!
