Ok - I don't have as many pics as I would like but I did have a good time. Probably the best stuff I have is pics from a dinner I went to at the Metropolitan Club in Sears Tower. It was on the 60something floor. It took right around 5-8 seconds for the elevator to get up and down from there. Yes, my ears popped. Crazy. Anyway here are some pics:The outside pics are from the Met windows...
Oh and another thing happened. I was offered 2 jobs while I was there. One of which I turned down immediatlely b/c I didn't want to move to Manhattan - I know, crazy. The other one I didn't turn down, nor did I accept it either. But it's something I can still do on the side and in a way have been. I was asked to be on a speaking circuit and get paid real money. I've been speaking at some conferences and only get a couple hundred at a time. This offer was for serious cash to speak, at an annual conference, no less for one job. For a big company. It's totally something I'm thinking about.
Also, I took luke to a skatepark today and he can totally ride transitions! I was blown away. So, guess what that means. Yep, a 1/2 pipe going up in the backyard. He's already learning to ollie too! I think he'll be easy to teach airs and lip tricks to. I am so excited. At the park I kept giving him pointers and some of the kids there were giving him other tips too, some of which were wrong that I quickly pointed out and corrected them. This is where is gets funny. They said you have to skate to really understand how to teach someone, and, of course, I chuckled a bit and said I knew how to skate. They said show us - which I did. After that they were all asking me for tips. It was neat seeing Luke tell people, yeah that's my dad...he's teaching me. What's cool is that I know he will be way better than me, after seeing him go today.
