Thoughts & Experiences from the Mile High City
This is something that I am constantly trying to do and accomplish. It is hard, but when I achieve a zero inbox I find I am more productive and responsive.
Merlin Mann just did a presentation at Google and discussed getting to “Inbox Zero”. It is an interesting talk and perfect for those who study and need a refresher on “Getting Things Done” or as we know it, GTD.

The Rockies had an incredible evening, scoring 11 runs to win big. The thing is that they scored those 11 runs after the sixth inning.
But the night belongs to Barry who hit his 756th home run this evening.
Despite all the controversy, Barry Bonds holds the record and for now, no one can take it away from him.
It was a nice commemoration of the home run and the video from Hank Aaron was all class, just how he played the game.
Congrats Barry and congrats Hammering Hank!

Rory Sabbatini should learn to keep his mouth shut.
After the Wachovia Championship earlier this year, he said that Tiger Woods was more beatable than ever.
Well, he had his opportunity to back it up on the course, and he embarrassed himself and Tiger made a statement at the Bridgestone Championship.
After entering the fourth round trailing by one, Tiger put the pedal to the metal and shot a 65. What did Sabbatini do? He shot an 74. He was flat out embarrassed by Woods.
Sabbatini has had several opportunities to back up his mouth, and he has not even come close. I hope he just fades away. He will never match Woods in play or class.
Wood made a statement today. The field at the PGA Championship should just plain watch out.
I am in Salt Lake City for some work meetings and needed a good place to hang out, have a good dinner, and enjoy a beer. Always got to find a good beer.
Well the Red Rock Brewing Company hit the spot. This place was busy and after we were sat, there was some wait for tables. But the food and beer were worth it.
The atmosphere was excellent with baseball on the TVs and some music playing in the background. And the menu was quite extensive and they had a lot of beer on the menu.
This is a great reason why you shouldn’t drink bottled water. There is no difference and it is not safer or cleaner than tap water. In fact, most of the bottled water is coming from tap water.
Most of the major bottlers of water are now going to list where they get the water, Aquafina is one of them. See this story that was on Today,
“Is your bottled water coming from a faucet?“
Here is the Penn and Teller video on bottled water:
This does not take into account the plastic bottles that never ever get recycled.

This is a wonderful photo that was taken by the Denver Post of the storm moving in over the metro area. This storm produced a lot of rain and some flooding and led to the Rockies game to be canceled this evening.
Way to go Denver Post and capturing this photo. Here is the story, Rain, lightning greet weekend.
Like it or not, Bonds crushed #754 in his first at bat this evening on the fourth pitch to center field.
It took that ball that was up and on the outside of the plate and went with it. He didn’t pull off it.
It was just crushed.
Let’s see what happens the rest of the weekend.
