I ran the Zeitgeist half marathon yesterday in Boise, Idaho with my friends Pam Solon and Mark Solon (Pam kicked our asses). I love America. It was a cold and icy morning with a beautiful blue sky. The course is hilly – a long two mile hile at mile 2 and then a one mile hile at mile 8. But following each hill was a corresponding downhill so that evened things out. The most awesome thing about a half marathon is at 13 miles you only have 0.1 mile left, not 13.2 miles.

NYTimes Conor Dougherty covers the use of employee noncompetes in Idaho as a weapon in the conflict between local existing companies and startups. What’s crazy about Idaho’s law is how far it tips against the individual. As Conor writes, Idaho “shifted the burden from companies to employees, who must now prove they have “no ability to adversely affect the employer’s legitimate business interests.””

Idaho spuds appeared magically in 50 pounds boxes and ended up in a dank, gross storeroom. I was fired from my first two jobs. Here’s the story of one of them, which first appeared as part of LinkedIn’s My First Job content package. Those were the last two words I heard from my boss after working for six months at Potatoes, Etc., my first real job. I smirked, immaturely threw my apron at her (I was 15 years old after all), and slammed the door on my way out.

A week or so back we surprised my father in-law with an 80th birthday celebration in Yellowstone Park. As we rolled down Main Street memories from that year came flooding back. The bank with the curbs we used to skate, the corner where a whole pickup truck full of cowboys tried to jump me for skateboarding said curbs, the dance club we clowned at nearly every weekend.

With his permission I’m posting it here in its entirety. If you feel the way I do about this issue, I urge you to take a stand on this issue.
