Unplugged

Ever been “off the grid”?  Sometimes it’s healthy to get a little R&R from the day to day activity on the net.

This last weekend I had the opportunity to “unplug”. Being the father of two Boy Scouts, I’ve spent a number of nights camping. Today, for instance, I just got back from an annual trip to Galena, IL.

For the last 54 years, on the last full weekend in April, over a thousand Boy Scouts make an annual trip take part in the Grant’s Pilgrimage Parade.  My kids have been in the parade a number of times and they have always had a great time.

While I had planned on blogging about building a powerful online brand, I’ve run out of time - perhaps next week.   Instead, I’ve seen the stars on a cold clear night, heard a wild turkey in the pre-dawn hours and eaten food cooked over an open fire . . . food prepared by boys that have been playing in the mud and haven’t properly washed their hands (this is why Moms don’t come on Boy Scout campouts).

Until next time,

Dan
