Mediocrity Sucks

For the first time in, umm, well, since I can remember, I completely unplugged for more than one week. It was easier than I thought - especially when you're sitting atop the largest cruise vessel in the world enjoying a Mai Tai, sun, and the smell of salt water. I had the opportunity to get caught up on some of my reading, including two books I highly recommend: Hugh MacLeod's Evil Plans and Seth Godin's Poke The Box. Here's the moral I left with - Mediocrity Sucks!
