Long Overdue Praise

Ashley & Me

This post is long overdue and I wanted to get it out right after IZEAFest 2008 but things got a little crazy busy.

This is my friend Ashley. He works for IZEA and was the driving force behind IZEAFest 2008. Ashley contacted all the speakers and worked with everyone involved from the venue to the lunch location. He’s an unsung hero of IZEA that I want to recognize.

I’ve known Ashley for a few years now. We met face to face at Collegefest 2007. He is a great guy who works his butt off. I am very happy to call him one of my friends and look forward to our next IZEA adventure.

He is also someone who keeps the IZEA community informed through Twitter as himself Social_Citizen and as IZEAinc. He is an important Team Member of IZEA and he even went and sent out recognition items to the speakers including me. Very cool.

I was at lunch today with Allison and Eva and the sun was coming through the window and onto this glass. With the bubbles it made the light even more fun.

Having a day off has been nice. Spending a nice time today with Allison and Eva has been very nice. We had lunch together, spent some time at Target and had a nice dinner. It is great being able to be home on a day other than a weekend or a work from home day.

This morning I was busy with the old scanner because of Facebook. A couple of my friends from grade school had uploaded a couple of photos and tagged me, that got me thinking about the photos that I have laying around. So I spent some time scanning a complete photo album from 8th grade which was 20 years ago. It was fun going through those old photos.
