From the Govenor's Conference...

Buddy, Amy and I had a chance to go to the 2006 Tennessee Governor's Conference on Tourism. I know it sounds pretty boring, but we actually had a good time and both Amy and I really enjoyed the keynote speaker Roy Williams, the Wizard of Ads. This guy was something special. His late seminar on the swinging pendulums of society was especially unique. He has this theory that the way people relate to society as a whole is on a 40-year shift, with 40 years of what he described as “a Civic Minded” approach to society on one side and 40 years of an individuality focused society on the other. I know this seems weird and if you’d like to learn more I might be able to answer some questions about this theory (or I might totally butcher it). Check out a short clip of Amy and myself with Buddy at the conference…VIDEO W/OUT SOUND COMING SOON...Later, John
