Today was a beautiful day. I couldn’t stomach the thought of spending the entire day cooped up inside, so for my lunch break, I went to the driving range and hit a few. Good stuff!

The first week of my internship at Medtronic has drawn to a close, and I must say that I continue to be extremely impressed: impressed by my knowledgeable coworkers, impressed by the professionalism everyone shows, impressed by my manager’s leadership skills… let’s just say that I’m delighted with the experience thus far. A major contributing factor to my satisfaction is that I have a worthwhile project. I am learning valuable strategies for managing and executing projects. Overall, I am gaining fantastic experience, which has direct, real application in whatever I end up doing later in life.

I noticed a disturbing trend as of late: The number of visitors to this site is inversely proportional to the amount I post. Are my posts driving you all away? Maybe if I do tricks more people will come. Here, I’ll stand on my head. See? Okay, so maybe that doesn’t trip your trigger. Perhaps this calls for a different strategy: I will give a new Hummer to the person who visits my web site the most. This should work; everybody likes contests. Of course, I have no Hummer to give away, so to fix that problem, the contest entry fee is one new Hummer.

But seriously, if I know you, drop me a line by any of the usual ways: email, AIM, or phone. Let me know how your summer is going. Alternately, start your own blog. If you’re a personal friend of mine, I’ll even host your web site, no charge. No kidding! Just get in touch with me and I’ll give you the details.
