Welcome to the O.C.

Well, a new day, a new adventure ... arrived late last night in Orange County (the airport's name is "John Wayne Airport" .... interesting). The weather here is awesome (compared to San Francisco, and especially compared to Chicago!) .... and we spent today brainstorming about how to help this church in Chicago where Damon is working.

Damon Dunn (pictured in the middle of the photo) is a friend of a one of my mates from Stanford. He's an ex-NFL player who now spends his time in real estate and church planting - and he asked me to come down and help with some church strategy - my specialty!

This is us hanging out at some classy Mexican establishment at nearby Laguna Beach. Yes, we ARE cool ...
