*** Travel notes:

I flew to Spokane for a very brief visit with family for an interment at the new Washington State Veterans Cemetery at Medical Lake. Some observations:

My flight from Washington to Minneapolis was aboard an MD 90. Nice flight. I connected there for Spokane, and met up with my brother who was coming from Charleston via Atlanta. Our flight into Spokane was packed with sinewy athletic people. Turns out the Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene competition (http://ironmancda.com/) was this same weekend. That explained why the second night at the Peppertree Best Western was considerably more expensive than the first night. And, it explained why, when my brother and I realized we had crossed signals and neither one of us had booked the rental car, there were few options available at a reasonable price. So, we rented a seven-passenger black Yukon from Hertz that looked like a Secret Service vehicle.

Beyond the many people coming for the Ironman, there also happened to be the huge Hoopfest event (http://www.spokanehoopfest.net/), the world’s largest 3-on-3 half-court street B-Ball tournament, with upwards of 10,000 participants.

(Note: Congratulations to my cousins Amanda and Allison Kirby. Their teams, HAPPILY EVER AFTER and THREE CHIX ONE DUDE respectively, both advanced in their brackets on Saturday. They both did pretty well on Sunday, too.

At the airport, I got my boarding pass and headed to the security line which was not yet long. A woman told a young lady, “Now, when you get there, you go to the carousel. That’s where the bags will come out.” “I know, Mom.” the girl said, as if he Mom thought she was just a kid who didn’t know ANYTHING. A woman who had checked her bag just ahead of me at the Delta counter tearfully said goodbye to her boyfriend and was now ahead of me in the security line. She stopped and looked back at him and waved. Then we moved several steps closer. She turned and looked again, and blew a kiss. Tears in her eyes, she didn’t notice that the line was moving. She finally notices and moved forward, stopped, gazed longingly, and sent a little wave. Okay, move lady. As the line got longer behind us, and we moved to the boarding pass check, it became harder for her to get a glimpse at her beau. But she tried standing up on her tippy-toes, or looking between the crowd the get just one last look, again, Okay, it was sweet, but, I mean, really.

*** Boston held another victory parade for the Stanley Cup-winning Boston Bruins on Saturday, and they brought the cup out onto the field at Fenway yesterday. It’s been a pretty good decade for Boston fans. Since like 2002 there have been three parades for the Patriots, two for the Red Sox, and one most recently for the Celtics. Officials say the crowd that turned out Saturday to salute the Bs was the largest ever for a Boston parade. There were no incidents of misconduct to mar the celebration.

*** I asked for your thoughts on thought leadership. Here’s Mark Sofman’s:

*** Ned asks for your thoughts, please, on Thought leadership:

OK, so I'm a cynic.

Too much of what's described as “thought leadership” is really just so much palaver and marketing spin that too often resembles campaign politics. You know the drill: professional politician “writes” a book, media praises/pans same (according to ideological bent) and the real message is “”I'm running for higher office because I lost my last job (due to a lost election or term limits) and I'm offering this bilge as my rationale for becoming ubiquitous for the next 18-24 months of the news cycle.”

Not enough “”thought leadership” explains the evolution of self-identified “leader's” thinking or even the executive decision making and concrete actions taken to attain “”thought leadership.” We've all read (and maybe written) at some point or another “thought leadership” essays that say high falutin' things, but when you check with the people on the ground you learn there's a big difference between the high concept “plan” and the reality of its execution where the work gets done.

In summary, “thought leaders” need to be seen doing things consistent with their “vision” not just bloviating about it.

*** Thinking of thought leadership:

I’ve posted a video of your thought leadership session at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5abc2YO4aI.

“I am putting this newsletter out later than usual for many of you because there is a time zone difference between Hawaii and the East Coast.”

If memory still serves, it's far more than “a time zone difference” … 'Aloha time' is a major culture clash with the mainland. Even Camp H.M. Smith ran on its own version of Aloha time.

Telling us this is late because you're in Hawaii is like rubbing salt into a wound, Ned.

More specifically, the Foundation supports work that seeks to uncover the fundamental nature of reality, including work in physics, biology, philosophy, theology, mathematics, and the social and human sciences. Key themes for further research in the social and human sciences include love, honesty, intellect, reliability, thrift, awe, generosity, gratitude, forgiveness, joy, wisdom, personal meaning and purpose. In addition, the Foundation supports research and programs in areas such as Freedom and Free Enterprise, Genetics, and the discovery and nurturing of Exceptional Cognitive Talent and Creativity.
