I can’t believe it's already one week ago today I woke up in Cannon Beach, Oregon on a sunny beautiful Friday morning. I was on the Oregon coast last Thursday and Friday for a couple of great social media marketing workshops with real estate professionals in Tillamook and Seaside.
When we finished in Tillamook Thursday afternoon we headed up coastal Highway 101 to Cannon Beach. I was working both days with my good friend Julie Olsen, Ticor Title - Marketing Director for Clatsop and Tillamook Counties. Like all great sales reps I've worked with through the years, she knows only one speed... pedal to the medal!
I was really working to keep her truck in site...
I pulled into the hotel after dark and didn't know what my view would be in the morning. I was delighted to see Haystack Rock. It's 235 feet tall and the third largest free standing monolith right off my deck. This picture with my cellphone doesn't do it justice.
While I was waking up and having my morning coffee a new friend showed up and quietly hungout with me for over 20 minutes.
Both two hour sessions were great fun and we shared a lot of lively conversation about social media marketing. I love that kind of 'frontier in the air feeling' I get when I do these events.
I'm reminded how much life has changed. It matters less where we live, on the web we all have equal opportunity.
Driving home, my head was full of ideas. I was already reminicing over the events and people I talked with and listening to the remastered Beatles albums... Help!, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Pepper's... (there's another blog!)...
Heading north into Astoria, a little over 4 hours to my place in Renton, Washington... That's the south portion of the Astoria Bridge over the Columbia River.
Bye Bye Summer 2009...
I learned a lot from you... You were beautiful, interesting, and sometimes a challenge... we had good times and some not so...
I worked I played... I was livin' the dream...
Thank you...

All
photos were taken with my BlackBerry Storm. I
balance my elbow on the center console in my Ford Explorer and with
practice,
mimic my head movement and point it in the direction I’m
looking attempting to keep the camera angle the same as my eye level.
Later I check
to see if the camera saw what I did. Needless to say, I delete most of
the photos.
