I mentioned this week that I have an unusually hostile view of the film The Princess Bride and cannot for the life of me understand what anyone sees in it.

I also mentioned that I'm not a ranker. Too much pressure. My favorite movie? You mean out of the zillion I've seen? Who could decide?

Well, my wife and I travel a lot, and at my unconference this year, during an Ask Me Anything session, someone asked me if any of our destinations had turned out to be a disappointment.

I thought about it and realized we've been really lucky: we've thoroughly enjoyed our various trips. From the stage I asked my wife, "Would you say maybe St. Croix was at least a little bit of a letdown?" To which she joked, "This is YOUR Ask Me Anything session."

Well, there's one kind of vacation in which I don't even care where we go, and that's my annual cruise.

What matters instead are the great people on board, the hilarious games we play, the wonderful dinners we enjoy together, the special entertainment I arrange just for our group, and so much more.

I'll grant you, the off-the-ship excursions are fun, and in fact I'm arranging for us (anyone who wishes to join, that is) to dine at a restaurant owned by a longtime Ron Paul supporter during our first stop.

And you business folks who read these emails will be happy to learn that we'll once again run our optional mini-masterminds during our downtime, when we'll choose people to sit on a hot seat and let us throw ideas and strategies at them to help them grow.

By the way, some people are under the mistaken impression that the entire ship is our people, but we're a small group, so yes, you'll see a lot of me and we'll spend some real time together. You're not competing with 5000 other people.

Not to mention, you'll have a chance to meet Woods child #6, a son, who will be born just weeks from now.
