I’m helping Jody with her DVD collection and making backup copies for her soon to be ex husband. As i’m making dups it really hit me how sad it is that their entire 8 year marriage can be boiled down to 34 DVD’s worth of memories. Is this how we want to be remembered? I want it to be so much more… What do you want your legacy to be?

Today I received a package from NTI Network Technologies Inc and I’m stunned at the amazing customer experience I found when I opened the box.  The sent a personally signed thank you card. WOW!!! This is how you do customer service!! This is how you differentiate yourself from the competition.

I love this so much… GREAT JOB NTI

Life is getting better every day. So much progress on the kid front..its great to be a part of this process and to learn and grow with them. Its a big 4th of July weekend…lots of firework and picnic action. I love you kids!

Heard a great quote from my friend Isabel I wanted to share “Never save things for a special occasion. Everyday in your life is a special occasion.” Love that quote. Every day should be that special day and you should live life to the fullest!

THANK YOU so much for the outpouring of love and thoughts these last few weeks for the Clifford kids. You never know where your friends are till you need them. So amazing, so awesome!!

Today is flag day and that means it Grandpa Clifford as well as Becky’s birthday aka mrstommytrc. Happy Birthday to you!!

I’m stunned. I have no idea what to say. Today I received the June/July issue of the Fox Cities Magazine… BIG FAN! And what do I see. I’M ON THE COVER!!

THIS IS JUST HUGE!!!

I’m like famous! My arm and part of my head actually made the cover. So many extras were cut out entirely, sad for them ☺, but clearly the photographer and staff saw my talent as an extra and included me in the final cover. How awesome is that. Do I need to change careers here? I need help understanding the magnitude of this opportunity. I guess I was just way over the top talented so they could only include my arm… but that’s ok.

Thank you David E Jackson Studios @davidejackson and Alison Fiebig @afiebig for including me in on this 100% over-the-top fun project.

YOU ALL ROCK!!!

Whats Tommytrc’s strategy for following back on twitter? This question came in via my formspring q&a page. I love answering peoples questions and I thought this one in particular warranted a Tommylog.

You can ask me anything http://formspring.me/asktommy

Today I talk about taking the high road when dealing with issues. A very good friend helped show me that this week and I was to thank her for her friendship and leadership. When life gets you down…retaliation is no way of handing the problem.

This is one of the hardest tommylog’s I have had to do in a long time… if not ever. The tommytrc family is dealing with a sexual predator that has infiltrated the family. I feel so lost, I feel so empty and I feel so hurt!! I know this issue will come as a complete shock to those who are watching… The Clifford family really needs your thoughts and prayers. I’m not here to point fingers and say who … the court system will take care of that for me… but I’m just stunned. As a father I feel so helpless. To know me is to know my children. I can’t go a moment w/o glowing about them. I take my fatherhood so serious and when this happens, its personal!
