My refugee sponsorship story has gone international with mentions on BBC and The Guardian. I did not do this project for fame or publicity. At first I resisted publicity but now welcome it. It helps leverage. It helps get things done. The downside is it generates a lot of volume. People read it and ask for help. Or people want to express an opinion.

I am just off a weekend with my brothers. This is a 25+ year tradition. We get together and solve the problems of the world (so it was a tough weekend), predict the future and then figure out how to influence it. I actually ended up with too many things on my to do list from it. And of course we have a lot of laughs, walk and play some cards. We always miss my brother Mark who died in Dec 2008.

With New Years comes examination of my systems. I read a book - Checklist Manifesto written by a doctor with many examples of how checklists save lives. He implemented checklist in operating rooms by being inspired by airline pilot checklists. It has inspired me to do my own checklist. The one I am experimenting with is a weekly 1 page sheet with some things to do daily (like pushups and meditation) and others to do weekly (like checking in with key people).
