    Firstly I want to welcome you, the reader, to my new blog.  I’ve spent time blogging in the past but this is the first time I have included it on my personal site.  I’ll make the same disclaimer I made with the first two blogs I wrote: This is not a life story.  I may write about some events of my life but don’t expect that.  I will probably share fun stories, funny posts from other sites or family events.

Currently, I am in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida.  The First National Bank of Olathe sent me down here to a Business Continuity Planning (read Disaster Recovery) conference.  This place is absolutely amazing.  The hotel is absurd!  It’s nicer than even the hotel I stayed in at the 2003 Final Four.  You can see the hotel here.  There is a “Lazy River” pool that you can float on for hours and the view is literally amazing.  I could brag all day about this place so I’ll stop now.

Kansas wins!  We beat Texas today for the 3rd consecutive Big 12 conference championship.  I like the way the hawks played today.  They looked impressive even in the close fought game.  To me it looked like we have finally figured out how to close games.  Our losses this year came from a team that seemed to have a mental block on winning close games.  It doesn’t hurt any that we hit 15 three pointers!  Most impressive stat of all: 26 made baskets 25 assists!  Thats almost an assist for EVERY made basket.  This shows how un-SELF-ish our team really plays.

Now for some humor (taken from ahajokes.com):

A tribe within Africa

There was a tribe in Africa which was very fierce and warring…they would battle all the tribes in the area, and they always won. As a victory trophy, they would take the throne of the chief of the defeated tribe and carry it home, chanting victory chants and singing the whole way. When they got home, they would put the throne in the attic of the grass hut. This went on for quite some time, and soon the throne collection grew, adding to the prestige of the tribe.

One day, they battled a tribe of farily large people, some might call them giants. They won, and they struggled to get the throne home…but the chanting and joyesness prevailed as usual. When they got home, they had the ritual of putting the throne in the attic of the grass hut, but the weight was too much. The ceiling collapsed, killing everyone on the tribe.

The moral: People who live in grass houses shouldn’t stow thrones.
