Olympic Poet

I really liked that the Olympic Opening Ceremony featured Slam Poet Shane Koyczan. They always have singers and dancers, but it was great having poetry featured so prominently.

Check out his poem, We Are More, if you missed it. There is YouTube video as well.

"we are vineyards of good year after good year
we reforest what we clear
because we believe in generations beyond our own
knowing now that so many of us
have grown past what used to be
we can stand here today
filled with all the hope people have
when they say things like "someday""

I loved how the Opening Ceremony featured so many "regular" people. They performers came in all shapes, sizes, and styles. They weren't all skinny models. Great show.

I am packing my gear and heading to Romeoville, IL to try and up sell one of our largest customers. They are going through a merger right now, and corporate mergers are always stressful. At least these are privately held companies, so there isn't all the stock market drama added on top.

So while the Olympics continue, I will be competing in the Corporate Combined and the 3,000 Kilometer Equipment Haul. See you on the Internets...
