Time to Relax and Celebrate Life

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

I just got back from a great getaway in NYC where I celebrated 101 birthday years with my wife.

Great:
R&R time at the Peninsula Hotel
Sunset pictures from the top of the Rockefeller Center
Shows: AvenueQ – terrific, Tarzan – ok, Spring Awakening – terrific.
Restaurants
Visit to my new favorite camera gear place – B&H Photo
Visit to the awesome apple store on Fifth Ave
And much more

Priceless:
Precious time with my wife Laurel, daughter Sharon and son-in-law Hillel.
and unbelievable view of the world (gift from our kids)

Now back to work. thumbsup.gif

Happy New Year!

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

I just returned from a great vacation in Cancun, Mexico, where I was able to reenergize myself and capture these great sunrise and sunset pictures with my camera. So as the sun is getting ready to set on 2006, my wishes to you and your family are for a healthy, successful and prosperous new year.

Best Wishes,

Chad

How do you balance productivity with technology and life balance?

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

Several weeks ago I drove down to Cincinnati to attend a workshop by Edward Tufte. During the four hour drive I managed to:
Conduct productive prospect and client conferences, listen to one of my business learning CDs, and enjoy my satellite radio with Jazz, classical, news and other selections.

Next day, Friday evening, driving back to Cleveland and about 20 minutes south of Columbus I felt ready for a great meal. “Dial AmEX” I said. “Dialing” answered my Bluetooth wireless phone connected into my sound system in my 645 BMW. Within seconds I had the friendly American Express concierge service operator on the call with me, looking up great restaurants in Columbus by interstate I71.

“We were expecting you Mr. Barr” said the manager at the great Lindey’s restaurant as she was showing me to my table.

Great meal, great life, great technology and even the business learning CDs sounded better.

“What a fabulous country” I said to myself as I continued my drive home.

It is great to be alive!
