Happy Thanksgiving! I know you understand how important it is to enjoy your family and friends and if you still have a job I’m sure you thank God everyday for that.
How about things you’re NOT THANKFUL FOR? Here are a few of mine:

*Being forced to watch the Detroit Lions every Thanksgiving Day
*Not having the NFL Network
*Swine Flu
*Jon & Kate
*Acid Reflux
*Alarms that ring at 3 a.m.
*The Far Left
*The Far Right
*The Kardashians
*Most throwback uniforms
*People with no common sense
*The NY Yankees (who ruin it for everybody)
*TV Preachers
*Josh Groban
*Forwarded Chain E Mails (has Billy gotten all his cards yet?)
*Grid Addresses…NW237658E66756441 West South Avenue North
*Having to wear cheaters to read (where’d I put those glasses?)
*Mosquitoes
*Phone systems that offer no option to speak to a real person
*Phone systems that force me to speak to a computer
*TV Rating sweeps (breathing can kill you, details at 10)
*People who are the center of their own universe
*Having to watch CBS broadcast football
*People who finish your sentences for you
*Short sighted radio companies who have fired everyone
*Radio hosts who pretend they live in your city but are really taping it from hundreds of miles away (see above)
*People who blame their childhood…here’s a tip; everyone’s from a dysfunctional family and if you’re not? That’s dysfunctional.
*LOL…which always means I have no more to say; including now ;~)

I invite you to Awaken the Giant Within. I am an Outlier and I have learned to Trust Your Gut. The Law of Success has made me Pop, Blink and I must always remember that The Stillness Speaks. I have made one of the Seven Key Decisions That Determine Success. I have more Successful Habits than most and I know the SECRET. Need to be more organized? I’ve got the answer. Need to improve your money management skills? I’ve got you covered. Want to know how to win people and influence friends, neighbors and strangers? Yep, I know that, too!

This morning we talked about the TV show “Hung” and the motivational speaker responsible for turning a high school coach into an escort for hire. Then after the show I read all the e mail solicitations we get here at ‘KLH. ‘I can teach your listeners how to stay debt free!’ “I can speak to the latest trends in marketing, or fashion, or well, just about anything!’ Fantastic! Hey, did you write that e mail from your van down by the river?

So, I’ve decided that I want to be a motivational speaker/consultant. I want to be able to tell you what I know and how to make you better. And if it doesn’t work, well, you just weren’t paying close enough attention, were you? Maybe you just can’t be motivated? ‘Cause it can’t be me! My power point presentation could stir even the most cynical soul!

I want to read a book and send you my book report. It’ll be disguised as a sort of insight from up here in my ivory tower. The books themselves are good reads. There’s nothing wrong with them, at all. What I do enjoy, though, are the speakers and consultants who read a book or spot a trend and then preach it as gospel. Even if they just noticed a trend that’s been around a long time, well, if it’s new to them it must be new to you.

Hmmm, this is a web log, right? The kids are calling them blogs, you know. I’ve noticed that this social media thing is catching on. I better work it in to my new seminar. It’s called “Things You Already Know”

The entire DVD collection can be yours for 289.95! No matter how you slice it, that’s just good Freakanomics.

For you golfers out there let me tell you that this is just my provisional blog. In case my first one winds up in the drink or lost in the woods. I write like I golf. I like to take a mulligan. Okay, a lot of them. My friend Eric calls it happy golf. I just hit the ball until I’m happy. And because of my carefree ways I now find out I’m a killer.

According to CNN; “Research teams have discovered it takes between 100 to 1,000 years for a golf ball to decompose naturally. It’s estimated 300 million balls are lost or discarded in the United States every year. It was found that during decomposition, the golf balls dissolved to release a high quantity of heavy metals. Dangerous levels of zinc were found in the synthetic rubber filling used in solid core golf balls. When submerged in water, the zinc attached itself to the ground sediment and poisoned the surrounding flora and fauna”.

So I guess those 2 guys who were slowing us down a few weeks back weren’t just fishing for free golf balls? Nope, they were crawling into the water hazards at the municipal course because they were afraid the flora and fauna may be injured. I’m not buying it.  If I really thought that was the case I wouldn’t have air mailed those balls near their heads. Yeah, I said balls…two of them. I lost them both. Sorry Bambi.
