This past Saturday I spoke at Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman, WA. And it was a crazy day. Here was how the 22-hour itinerary played out:
4:30 am -5:30 am: Drive to Airport/Check in.
6:30 am – 9:16 am: Fly out of L.A./2 hr 15 min layover in Salt Lake
12:15 pm: Fly into Spokane, WA. Airport
12:15 pm – 2 pm: Drive to Pullman, WA.
2 pm – 3 pm: Lunch with Students
3:15 pm - 5:15 pm: Speak/workshop at WSU
5:30 pm - 7 pm: Drive back to Spokane, WA. Airport.
7:35 pm: Fly out of Spokane/2 hr layover in Las Vegas
1:14 am: Land in L.A.
1:14 am-2:14 am: Drive back home
Why the rush? Well at the time the reservation was made, I was on “high alert” taking into consideration my daughter possibly being born 2 weeks early. But with her being born 5 weeks early and already here — that precaution was pretty much moot… but very exhausting.
I’m still recooping from a fever/chills and lack of sleep. I’m never, ever going to go on that kind of schedule again.
And the funny part is, the only reason I’m trying to quickly nurse myself back into good health is because I know I’ll get sick in the next 4 weeks shooting “Hatchet“ at night… and in the rain.

I loved Hatchet, great book when i was younger.
Hey Parry, I was wondering if you do motivational speeches. I’m working at IBM and they put me in charge of setting up this big meeting/ conference for managers. We want to have someone come and do a speech on leadership / empowerment. We do paid, of course, and it should turn out to be a very significant event filled with big names from within the company. Please let me know if u’re interested or if you can refer me to someone else who might be good for this. Thanks soooo much. You can contact me at: ceddie@us.ibm.com, or xc37@cornell.edu, or u can simply leave me a msg on my xanga.
Almost forgot, the event is set for August 9th, 2005. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that u’ll read this.
theyre making the movie hatchet? that is an awesome book. anyways, i liked you in tru calling, too bad its over now.
quite brutal! did they at least have a good in flight movie?
I just need to say (even if it’s belated and irrelevant to this entry)…that your baby IS SO CUTE! (She belongs on TV.
)
Hey bro, good luck wth the movie “Hatchet”, it was a good book. get better, boost up the orange juice and fruits in your diet… or just take some vitamins cuz of your busy schedule.
I dont know if you’d want to, but maybe you could join the DSP blog ring? unless u want to keep ur low key… except for that article in the Deltasig… lol.
