Something to Make You Smile

You probably know by now I’m a big fan of having FUN in my life. From exotic trips to scavenger hunts to crazy adventures (like zero g flights and racing indy cars) to theater…I think you should work hard AND play hard.

Well, one of the other ways I enjoy having fun is with practical jokes. I’ve pulled them on family, friends, business partners – you name it. And with April Fool’s Day being celebrated this month, I got a great chance to have a little more fun. April 1 is usually reserved for fun with my parents. And this year was no different!

Then after flying back in from giving two brand new presentations at Yanik Silver’s Underground Online Seminar and a little recovery nap, I hopped in the car and drove down to my parents’ house around 2am.

Armed with 1000 feet of “Crime Scene – Do Not Cross” tape (thanks eBay), I was ready to have some fun. 20 minutes later, my Mom and Dad’s house was totally roped off to look like a crime scene. 🙂

Take a look (click the pics to enlarge them):

Of course my parents got a great laugh, but the best part was my Mom and Dad getting calls from all the neighbors asking what was going on. LOL! Unfortunately it was raining, or they would have gotten a few chalk body outlines on the driveway too. 😉

Remember, work hard AND play hard! Keep people smiling and on their toes…and you’ll find life — and your business — become a lot more fun!

P.S. – Last year, they got a yard full of pink flamingos. Here are a couple more pictures to make you smile:

P.P.S. – I meant to post this earlier – but got knocked on my ass by same nasty virus for about 10 days (haven’t been that sick in ages). Not fun! Plus, we’ve been spending the last 6 weeks trying to diagnose a medical problem with my Dad (the docs think it’s some type of cancer…but all the tests aren’t coming back with answers yet…very weird). I’ll update you more later, but needless to say things have been a bit crazy between doc appointments every other day and the virus. Thanks for your patience!

P.P.P.S. – I’ve been playing around with the “Twitter” service which is a form of micro-blogging and mini-updates. (Similar to the “status” feature on Facebook and Myspace).

Right now I’ve been using it for more personal updates along with a few business things, but if you want to see what I’m doing and “Follow” me on there, sign up for a free account. Beware: Considering you can send it updates from your cell phone, IM or the web, it can become addicting to use! 😉
