Frustrating…

Happy Monday! I’m back from the sailing regatta with Vivian, … and it was super frustrating: On Saturday, we waited all day for wind. Around 3:00pm, the wind FINALLY picked up, and the kids jumped in their boats ready to race. The race committee was just about to set a course when suddenly… there was

Unbelievable!

Happy Saturday! Right now, I’m with my daughter Vivian at a sailing regatta in Dallas. This regatta is important because it’s a “qualifier” for the 2022 CHUBB Junior National Championship: The top 2 boats are invited to attend the National Championship. Vivian and her skipper James have been training for it for weeks. And we

I Made a Huge Mistake!

Right now, I’m 35,000 feet in the air on my way to Germany. And yesterday, I made a huge mistake: I decided to make some shrimp for dinner. And it turned out pretty good: This is the first time I used my “magic shrimp peeler and deveiner” that I bought a few weeks ago, and

Man in the Arena

Is THIS you? I’m about to leave for the airport to head to Las Vegas to speak at the MoneyShow, but I wanted to take a moment to follow up on yesterday’s email. In 1910, Theodor Roosevelt, former President of the United States, gave an incredible speech in Paris, France. I believe his speech characterizes
