Wow. What a crazy past few days.
I had a break in at my Casa de Oro office. The burglar(s) literally knocked a hole in the wall from the vacant office next door and stole all my computer equipment in that office.
Then, the story about our fiasco with United Airlines made the Union Tribune yesterday. It set off a bit of a firestorm, and has been picked up nationally by numerous blogs and RSS feeds.
Anita and I were scheduled to speak on the Rick Roberts talk show in San Diego at 8:00 this morning, but that got cancelled at the last minute and will probably air at 7:00 AM tomorrow (Friday).
And oh yes, I am feeling fine. Surgery is one month from tomorrow!
May God bless you today!
