I'm taking another break from the conference to test my example for my "Thinking inside the box" presentation later today. On the way back up to my room, I ran into Rick Hightower in the lobby. Rick informed me there's news being made on the beach just outside of our hotel.
Apparently, someone got into a bit of trouble out in the ocean and was drowning when a TSE attendee came to the rescue swimming out to pull the troubled swimmer to safety. From what I understand everybody's okay, but there were tons of police, paramedics, and news helicopters around the scene (although I've found nothing on the news about it yet).
My hat's off to the Spring'er who came out a hero today--Literally. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I have a couple of extra "got <beans>?" hats. It's only a small token, but if I find out who the hero is, I'll give them a hat. I'll be asking around to find out who it is...of course, I'll be watching the news and talking to Jay to see if he knows anything.
(Let's keep this honest folks...I don't want everyone claiming to be a hero just to get a free hat. If that happens, then I'll need evidence.)
