 I’ve been in Orcas Island, Washington over the weekend with my better half (she really is the better of the two of us) relaxing, enjoying the incredible weather and topography of the Pacific Northwest.  If you haven’t been to the San Juan Island — please don’t come.  It’s already started to get a little crowded and we don’t need anymore people here.  Seriously, if you do come you will be amazed.  Whenever we come to the house up here it always feels like I’ve been away too long — and whenever we leave it always feels like it’s too soon.  Orcas island really is the crown jewel of the Pacific Northwest.  If I can figure out how to put a photo up from my iphone I will.

Tuesday I spoke to the petroleum package society of American in Long Beach.  It was an interesting chat.  At first I wasn’t going to take the speaking gig because I felt I didn’t know what to speak to people in the "packaging" industry about — but then I realized — I’ve packaged myself over the years – time and time again — in a lot of different ways.  Football player, Gladiator, Actor, Screenwriter, Author, Speaker.  I used the common ground as my way "in" to the audience.  I am always fascinated by how we are so different, yet so alike. It reminds me of this quote by Satoro: 

    "Individually we are one drop.  Together we are an ocean."

Okay… off for now.  Want to soak up, savor and enjoy moment on Orcas Island.

Be well, 

Dan

Had a rocking time tonight at Third Street Books in Seattle Washington while promoting my Gladiator – A True story of Roids, Rage and Redemption. Special thanks to my sis’ Michelle and her crew for showing up.  Also Jessica the host from Third Street books rocked and was great.  She’s a voracious reader and compared my writing style to that of Chuck Palahniuk of Fight Club, Choke fame.  Blown away.  A huge compliment cause I’m a big fan of Chuck’s in your face, unrelenting style.  

Also a shout out to the Ron and Don radio show in Seattle for having me on air with them and publicizing the book event.  Peace be with you guys.  

Off to sleep and onto Orcas Island Washington for a little R&R.
