We just hosted some great friends- fellow Duke alumni.    A big group of us acted quite silly for the weekend- guys playing in a golf tournament, ladies hanging out, dinners and dancing at night.  Lots of great talks.  We discussed what we really value in life- good times, good friends, our relationships with our kids, success in business but not allowing it to take over our lives, working at our marriages to keep them healthy and fun.

I always resurface from these rare weekends a bit tired- but so happy to reconnect with people we love.   And, it’s so nice to take work breaks and return mentally refreshed!
