Nephew’s Visit
We just picked our nephew up from O’Hare. He’s seventeen and is here for a two-week work experience before his last year at high-school. He wants to get into media, production, film ect., so he’s going to do some work with us on the media side of our business. In fact his plan is to follow Jeff around and tape him in Chicago, at his home, office and doing a keynote.
The great thing about having young people around is their amazingly different point of view. It’s almost like having a visitor from a different planet. Take music for example…my music experience pretty much stopped with the Beatles, Stones and Jerry and the Pacemakers, but Kristian is talking about groups with wierd names like: Story of the Year, Paramore, and All Time Low, then there is his hair! He’s just straightened it and put some gel on so its all sticking up. It’s wonderful. It’s like being with a fashionista!
So anyhow, because he just arrived last night, we had a family gathering and they were talking about facebook and as we are talking a couple of the younger family members are busy texting and talking at the same time. Another is trying to hook up some kind of new ipod to the TV to download a u-tube film that was apparantely hilarious. So there’s my world today. I’ve been shot to a different planet where communication has gone way beyond face to face talking….and I’m really enjoying it. All the best for a great day. Val & Jeff
