Debt and Outback

Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11.  Hi everyone!  I hope you are all doing well.  I am doing great.  The last two days have been busy and fun.  Lots of lessons and the usual stuff.  I've never felt like days didn't quite have enough hours in them like I do now.  I do enjoy being busy, but keep trying to do one thing at a time and paying full attention to each thing.

On Saturday, my new experience of the year was to ask one of my students, Glen (who gave me Tigers tickets and and iPhone cover!), if I could go watch him at his company to see what he does and how he does it.  I even offered to trade golf lessons for it.  See, Glen is VERY rich, and what he does is buy credit card and auto debt from large companies for pennies on the dollar, and then renegotiates the debt with the person who owes money to him now.  Brilliant.  I love the simplicity of the brilliance, and I want to see how much I can learn from Glen.  I'm excited about it and will take him up on it when I get back from Thailand.

Today, my new thing was to be at Outback Steakhouse for 4 HOURS!!!!  Yes four.  You see, they don't take reservations, and today was mother's day, so it was very busy.  So Paula and I went in and waited starting at 5pm while the others in our party came later or went to do other things.  It was almost 7pm by the time we were seated and just before 9pm when we were done.  It was fine and we made the most of our time waiting, but it is way too long to be in any restaurant like Outback Steakhouse.  In the end, it was a fun night and we had a great meal and a good time.

Time to go watch my shows and relax a little bit!  I hope you all have a great day or night, and I'll talk to you all tomorrow.  See ya!
