Kenyon returned last evening from SLC. He had been there making sure his paperwork was in order for his retirement from the Army.

On Wednesday, he attended a seminar with a lot of big name speakers--Sarah Palin, Colin Powell, Zig Ziglar, Mitt Romney and a host of not so big names but all with very important messages about our lives and how really good America is doing in spite of what you hear on the news. One of them was a speed skater, don't know his name, but he has won 200 Olympic medals.

Another speaker was Tamara Lowe. Her topic was salesmanship. She settled in on knowing your prospective clients DNA--desires, needs, awards. After listening to Kenyon's recap of her speech and looking at his notes, I realize why Kenyon and I get along so well. We totally complement each other. Under desires there are people who are the workers and those who are the communicators--Kenyon is the communicator and I am the worker. Under needs there are people who are two different personalities, but I can't remember what the title was that she gave them and I can't find his notes and Kenyon is asleep right now, so I can't ask him, but whatever the two titles were--Kenyon was one and I was the other. Under awards there are the person who likes internal awards and the one that likes external awards. I am the internal award--the one who says just give me the bonus and I'll get to work and earn another one, while Kenyon is the one who says give me the sticker, the ribbon, the title, the car to show off, etc.

I love him. I really love him.
