The lesson seems to be consistent…sometimes all we have to do is show up! I was really second guessing coming this year, leaving behind mounds of works, especially all the editing, rendering, loading and commenting still required to get the remainder of our 2000+ training chapters loaded on MarinoTV.  The conference is held over a weekend which is never fun, and was right in the middle of some busy travel time for me. But, head down, horns out and straight ahead is the name of the game 99% of the time, and this was no different!  Not only did I get to connect with some great people at the convention, I had an absolute riot at night at the hotel.  Josh Freeman and I (starting QB for Tampa) have some interesting stories to tell, and Antonio Harvey, the media leader for the Portland Trailblazers passed on some free tickets to the basketball game.  Plus, I clearly missed the “snow-maggedon” that hit back home! What’s the lesson? Just show up, even (and especially) when you don’t feel like it!  You can’t win if you don’t play.
