Good audience, good brief, good day
Tuesday, January 24, 2006 at 6:30PM Dateline: hotel, Oak Ridge TN, 24 January 2006
Up this morning in Atlanta and gave morning pair of briefs to about 75 business exec at one of these "master executive forums." Basically did the max version of the BFA brief spread over two sessions, with Q&A attached. Great venue, great audience, great Q&A--just great all around. Morning like that makes you very happy to do this as a regular working gig.
Made a bunch of good contacts. Topped it off with a nice lunch.
Then the short flight to Knoxville on Delta for a day at Oak Ridge tomorrow.
A weirdly relaxing day given all the effort and interaction. Topped off with another round of lap swimming and treadmill.
Almost feels like I'm settling in better to the road in 2006, like I'm learning how to be the more sensible, more balanced road warrior
We put Tennesse field rock in our basement fireplace. Just got finished today. Looks really great: very natural and rough. Felt like it was my homage to my new connectivity with this state.
Walking out of Knoxville's airport today, I saw the same rock cut as large tiles on the walkway--a nice feeling.
This has beenn the anti-Koyanisquatsi day.
Tomorrow will be a major exploration of this new relationship set: Distinguished Scholar at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Has anyone seen this yet today?
Take out the scaremongering, and this may be evidence that as the U.S. mentored Japan, who mentored South Korea, who mentored China, China might be helping pull Saudi Arabia out of the gap. Is this a thing the U.S. actually wants to oppose?
Koyaanisqatsi - what a great film!
Hope all is going well with your gig at the Lab. I am having a great experience working there. Glad to see they are creating partnerships with innovative people like yourself.
I was at the GT briefing and found it to be very insightful. When describing the experience to friends and coworkers I was asked if Barnett was a motivational speaker; tough question because I feel very motivated. Thanx for spending time with us.
