I'm sure you all get tired of me talking about the weather here in Minnesota. The weather is very important to us. I understand that in some places the news at six and ten only give two minutes to the weather. Here in Minnesota we give at least ten minutes of every thirty to the weather. Often, we give fifteen to twenty minutes of thirty to the weather. Tonight is one of those nights where the weather is important. Upper Minnesota is looking for ten to fifteen inches of snow to night. That includes Mooerhead Minnesota--it is across the bridge from Fargo. You all hear about the flooding in Fargo, Moorehead is just across the river and experiencing the same flooding as Fargo. The same public employees who should be sand bagging and rescuing stranded residents have been pulled of f from those duties to plow the new snow so that emergency vehicles can get through the roads.
You are probably wondering, isn't MPM important to me? Yes it is. Yesterday I spent a great deal of time talking to some one about MPM. Some one not directly affiliated with any of the NPOs I am working with but some one who does have a great deal of influence over a number of NPOs including some I am working with. He is interested in helping me. Today I barely got to work on time and then I worked a nine hour shift. I had a really good day. I just didn't get much done on MPM. The weather is on my mind.

I've been wondering how close you are to Fargo, but didn't get a map out to see. Now, I know. Hopefully all will come to pass without incident. I haven't checked the weather yet today.
Whether it be the reality between our ears, or the reality of weather situation, reality interjects itself daily into our business building tactics.
The reality of life can get in the way of our plan, and often does. The key is for us to create a schedule and stick to it to the best of our abilities, so that times like these, we know that our business still moves forward when we cannot.
We still seek to find the balance between the reality of life happens and the reality of we can co-create a different experience, and our business growth. Surely, we will prevail over the reality if our Reality is between our ears. It would seem to follow that this gives us more control, right?
Will be thinking of good outcomes for the residents in your area of the country, Tom.
