I am sticking to my promise to do something new everyday in April – as long as I remember to do it! I almost forgot to do something yesterday, but then realized I had inadvertently done two things I’d never done before!
1. Record Breaking Day at CST Atlanta
Some of you may know that I run a tour operation of Downtown Atlanta – City Segway Tours Atlanta. We had a spectacular day yesterday in which we got 115 riders up on Segways in one day! Our previous record was 66 (which we had only hit the day before!)
It was a bit of finagling to break that 100 mark – we only have 30 machines, and factoring in for the guides, the most we could realistically do on traditional tours would be 81 in one day. We had 102 kids visiting from Minnesota (near and dear to my heart!) so we set up special 1 1/2 hour tours that went back to back. Then we also had 13 folks on regular tours, so there was a lot of Segway swapping, nail biting, and prayers that all 30 machines would make it through the day without any dead batteries. Well, I’m happy to say, it was a success!!
2. April Foolin’
Every year I try to get my mom on April Fools Day. Epic “gets” include convincing her I had accidentally flooded my freshman dorm, and one year when I called and told her I had been hit in the face with a hockey puck during an Atlanta Thrashers game. She has gotten so sly to me, however, that she refuses to believe anything I tell her on April 1 (heaven forbid I actually get into a real scrape!). I’ve tried getting her a few days later, but she’s on to me.
With the craziness of yesterday – I completely forgot to try something (much to her relief, I’m sure). I guess that just means I’ll have to come up with something extra special next year!
Now to come up with something I’ve never done before by the end of the day… 🙂
