Gambling on your health

Working in Las Vegas recently I thought I would try my luck at the slots. How much is too much to gamble? A months income, a week, a day? I opted for something less than a days income.
Hit the jackpot on my first $100. Should I keep going? No, after paying the withholding tax I headed back to tthe room to prepare for the next day.
I also observed far too many people gambling on their health. No I am just talking about over indulgence of food, not the "other indulgence" Seem odd to me that many people seemed to have a handle on how much they would spend on gambling, but no limits on the calories. How can we bring about change to over eating?

Travel stress - security lines

Arriving at security at Vancouver Airport I am lucky to have a green sticker for the fast line. Boarding pass checked at least twice within ten feet and now I go through the doors where the security machines and staff are waiting. But even though this is the "fast lane" it is also the line for flyers needing assistance. My laptop is out, shoes off and nothing in my pockets. I have been here before. However, it seems like almost everyone in front of me in the "fast line" is a first time flyer, laughing and joking at making the bells go off because they didn't pay attention to what goes on the belt. So I can't buy my way up the wait list in Canadian health care, but why can't I pay more for a truly fast line for frequent flyers who want this choice. I'm better now, sipping a scotch in the Air Canada lounge.

New Years Resolutions

January 17. How many people have given up on their New Years Resolution? Data suggests around 30% have already given up by now. Do you have the same problem? I have a proven process to keep you on track. Interested?

Travel tip

Travel can be fun and exciting, but when it is an essesntail part of your life it can create problems with relationships. Traveling through OHARE to speak at Vistage in Atlanta, I overheard several cell phone converstations, they are everywhere, rushing between gates in different terminals. Without knowing who was on the other end of the conversation and not knowing what they were saying, in many cases my perception was that the call was not that pleasant, a relationship dealing with issues long distance.
Why not travel with CATS! When you call your significant other use the term CATS.
C: Crisises, deal with the crisises first. What ever is troubling deal with it first.
A: Adoration, assuming you are still madly in love, do what you normally do when face to face. Comment how much you adore them.
T: Talk, make sure there is enough time to talk. Some couple need a lot of time to just talk, so make sure you have enough time before you need to hang up.
S: Sweet goodbyes, never end the call without sweet goodbyes. Without seeing the body language we can misinterpret comments that leave doubts. So always end on a happy note.
What tips do you have to keep your relationship well when you are on he road?
