Well, my handy dandy blogger account tells me it's been over a week since I last blogged. That's because I've been busy. No, I mean it! Really, REALLY busy!
Last Friday morning, the lovely wife and I hopped a plane to STL for 4th of July weekend with family and friends. July 5 was spent with the fam and attending my 15 year class reunion. Awesome to see all the old friends from high school days!
July 6 was my parents' 40th anniversary! We had a banquet room at a local restaurant with close family and friends, then adjourned back to my childhood home (okay, okay, we'll call it my parents' home) for more socializing. Pics to come from all these events soon!
A day spent in STL meeting with doctors, lawyers and friends meant a midnight return to Orlando...where I spent exactly seven waking hours before heading up to Gainesville for my stepson's orientation and registration at University of Florida. Man, being at UF makes me want to go back to college!
When we finally arrived home last evening, it felt like we'd been gone a month-and that's not all that far from reality, considering the Austin/NYC trip the previous week. All in all, a few days to cool my heels and I'll be ready to head out once again.
And now? More posts about stufff I learned on my travels...

About Me
- Marcus Engel
- The facts: I’m 32, a professional speaker, author, and Orlando, FL resident. This blog is going to be a little bit of an extension of my web site, marcusengel.com, but with its own personality. Professionally: Here you’ll see a story you can’t get anywhere else. At 18 I was blinded and nearly killed when hit by a drunk driver. Through years of rehab and hours of reconstructive surgery, my goal was to return to college and recapture my life. And I did it. Now, I’m a professional speaker focusing on teaching audiences to overcome adversity, make intelligent choices and see obstacles as opportunities. Through all life experiences I choose to grow, evolve and learn. Now – the important stuff: I love to read, write, play music, explore new restaurants, meet new people, just live every day as if it may be the last. Because it might. Been there, done that, got the t shirt. You can’t sum up About me! in 500 words. No one can. Or, if they can, they’re boring. I’m not. So, read on if you dare. Then drop me e-mail. It’s always way cool to find out who’s out there!
