update from ranger…

Ranglogosmall_2 hey bloggers!  hope your week is going great.  things have been going non-stop since i have arrived here at ranger.  the flight here was fine, nothing major, and gave me a little time for a much needed nap – i love sleeping on planes (or anywhere else for that matter – i love sleep!).  been busy with meetings after meetings, testing products, discussing new products (oh the things we’re working on!), and planning our events for 2009.  it’s hard to believe we already have to start planning for next year when this one is just over half way through?  guess it’s better to plan ahead…

we’ve also been working on processing all of the wonderful and talented applications from many of you to attend Ranger U in october.  well i am happy to say we have selected a great group for the october session.  the unfortunate thing as always, is that we can’t fit everyone we want to have attend.  it’s a tough process and decision to make, but i am hopeful that most of them will re-apply for 2009.  it’s such a great event, but with only 24 seats available it fills up fast as you can imagine.

so tonight several of us "ranger" folks went to suze & lenny’s house for bbq.  it was great that they invited us and a fun time was had by all (check out suze’s blog for a photo).  what an amazing home they have – filled with art from their many travels around the world – simply inspiring!  tomorrow suze and i are going to finalize her curriculum for Ranger U – she has lots of great things planned to teach so we’re going to figure out how to fit it all in.

so, that’s the past 2 days of events – so far so good, but still so much to do before friday.  it’s all good…t!m
