Why can’t people just be happy for others successes? I’m dealing with some serious losers in the area who are just so darn jealous of the success of others. Their bitterness and lengths they will go to to cut others down.. stunning. How can people harbor such feelings of ill will for someone else?

One way other another they will get theirs, just remember kids, what goes around comes around!

Today marks the first day of school for Madeline, Clara and Tommy. How great it is to see their excitement and joy of learning. Clara is also on the cross country team. How fun for her. last night I had the opportunity to see and be a part of the return flight of the Old Glory Honor Flight. Almost 1000 people cam to ATW to see these vets return from their day in Washington DC. What an honor to pay tribute to such valiant servicemen and women.

Tommy talks about Emma and Drews fav new app for the iphone, Pocket Pond. School starts this week, Boo and the heat is still upon NE Wisconsin. Whatever you do kids, be the best at it. You kids rock!!

Hey what do you know. I WON a free box of Breyers ice cream bars from @justjulie on twitter. How fun is that??!??! School is just around the corner and the fall chill is close approaching. I LOVE FALL!!

Tommy talks about the little things in life that make life so great. A small note or smile or handshake can really make a difference. Hand written thank you notes make a difference too. Its pretty amazing the impact of the little things.

Tommy talks about just being happy. Enjoying what you have and being happy if others excel or have things you do not have. Just be happy with what you have and don’t worry about what you don’t have. Happiness starts from within.

Tommy talks about leadership traits and the trait of a good leader which is delegation. The 4 traits of a good leader are 1, hire good people, break down barriers, get out of their way and delegate responsibility,

Tommy talks about Madeline and her first real work experience working at Culvers restaurant. Tommy’s first real work experience, after a paper route was to work at McDonald’s. That was an amazing experience to feel a part of something bigger. To be a part of a team. The big girls are getting braces. So fun to watch, so not fun to pay for… ouch.

We had the BEST Weekend. Playing and splashing and goofing off. What a blast the clifford kids have. We went jumping in puddles at the Appleton Farmers market. We saw @ohdaddy and @hostageek there too.

Many times, the way you treat people comes back to either reward or haunt you. Ask our buddy Mel Gibson how well that works. Tommy talks about a new loyalty program iphone app he just got and a computer place that is scamming people out of money. Remember what goes around, comes around.
