I can picture it, Claire!

I like your twisted logic here, young lady.. :) (kdding! I really shouldn't kid so soon after just meeting you...)

But anyway, yes, I am with you on this. I have a hard time admiring a "hero" when their personal character is in the gutter. I don't care how talented they are.

Sounds like you could definitely do a few of those. I'm up for being invited to that dinner, for instance... :)

Why am I not surprised? :)

Enough. Yes, me too, David. And it is good to have enough.
Now, gird your loins for the Holiday onslaught.
My recent post Good Leader/Bad Leader

Linking love to seeing and noticing... this is true awakening.

Terrific, with that photo. Perfect. I love it.

That word alone, "Talkaboutable" is jarring, isn't it? He had to say it like three times for me to even understand what the word was.

Very interesting photo, Claire. A window on a window on a wall.

Class clown + Most likely to achieve? That is great - you are probably member of a very small percentage who fit both categories!

Hey, you should revel in your inner clown. I go through the same thing, when I get so wrapped up in pressures and taking care of stuff that I forget to lighten up. My wife and I discussed this problem and we are trying to laugh more. Really, we are.
Ha!
My recent post Reality Check: Leadership is About Power

This is life - the working through. Never thought of it as sifting, though. But that fits. We're porous, pressed and refined. Nice, Claire..
