Family Fun Time

Today marks the first time my brother and his kids have visited since I've been in my (semi) newly acquired home.  It's pretty cool having them here.  I haven't seen them in about 4 years and let me just say - What a difference that time frame makes!  They all have gotten so tall and the oldest has facial hair!  The others have hit puberty and I'm just floored.  I guess that means they've gotten older and so have I.  The oldest nephew was born in 1993.  That doesn't seem so long ago to me - but geez - he's a grown ass man now. Might not be mature but he can now vote.

1. I had a series of nice meetings today.  I have to say that I think I'm going to enjoy partnering with a new person on an initiative. 
2. I loved seeing that the Program Board event tonight was PACKED. Great job!
3. I loved that I was able to play video games with my nephew and niece. Clearly, they play these games way more than me LOL I think tomorrow night I will challenge them in Guitar Hero!
4. Today marked my debut at a voice over artist. hahaha I had to do a series of videos on how to use a program.  The videos are for students and I hope they prove to be helpful. really enjoyed making them. 
5. While out to dinner with family, we sat next to a table with a very talkative, yet good-natured Korean guy that made sure we knew he could be "down" with the black folks. hahaha He was kind of annoying (and drunk) however, I loved how he got serious for a moment and got on my nephews case about not going to college. This was a classic moment!  A total stranger saying to my nephew, "Man, you should go to college, even if it's community college because a degree will open doors."  That was very nice of him to say and while he was annoying for most of the meal, him saying this made a world of difference to me.
