I picked up Jim Bardwell from the Reno airport yesterday and gave him the lay of the land...

Above Tahoe

Dinner with a found father of the Carson Valley

Our waitress is the granddaughter of the famous WW2 Pin Up girl..

We stopped to rent a projection screen in Carson and were a bit shocked to see fresh film on the shelves

Man you don't see that much anymore. I suppose if you had a dark room you would still need film.

Jim is on his plane back to Nashville.

Since we met about a year ago he and I have become pretty close. We've been through some heavy stuff together and are not afraid to let it all hang out.
Unlike most if not all of the "motivational speakers" I've met over the years, whom I could never see myself hanging out with, Jim is that type of person who comes across like a brother. Paula and I very much enjoyed having him stay here with us. As did Hula, who found his Pomade and breath mints and European man satchel quite delicious.

Jim really liked our venue for his presentation. VERY unlike the hotel meeting room and convention halls he is used to. The architecture and items for sale where right up his alley. He'll be back with his wife and a flat bed.

While disappointed that we didn't get more ASID members, those that did show up were very prominent members of our community who are now even more fully aware of our existence and new roll in Mayberry.

Jim's Building A Better You presentation really wow'd the attendees. It was rare to go more than 2 minutes with out a belly laugh and eyes locking on one another with a big "OMG he's so right on"..

Mr Bardwell should be at MF in Florida, make sure to catch his presentation, what ever the subject may be..
