Over my 16yrs spent in Gainesville I’ve met a lot of people and made a few friends. Then there are those special people…the people who you may not see for periods of time but they would drop anything for you and you would do the same for them. My friend Cris and I originally met [...]

On the way back to the gym I took a small, off road excursion with my beloved FD. Going around a curve, felt something give in the rear suspension and I started to slide. Got the car under control but hit the grass and slid into a 55MPH sign. Destroyed my driver side fender, (already [...]

When I was younger, I had the fortune and the opportunity to be the “Nanny” for a group of kids. Stories could and will be told at some point in time. When I initially was introduced to the kids, I was responsible for 3 of them. The boys at the time were 13 and 11 [...]

The weekend of 10/16/11 ended up being a great deal of fun. I swung over to Orlando on Saturday afternoon to catch up with one of my longest tenured friends, Tracey aka Dr. Smith. We hadn’t seen each other in at least 6 months and had a lot to chat about. In order to be [...]

So on the list of activities I would have found myself unlikely to do would be attending a country music concert. While I have grown fond of country music over the last few years, a concert would seem to be a bit much. That being said, Lindsay was given two free tickets to the Dierks [...]

So…one of the first business items that took place when I moved to Tampa was the scheduling of a speaking event. We originally were supposed to share a Hotel Conference room with a “big name” speaker. As the event began drawing closer and closer it rapidly became apparent that this individual wanted to run an [...]

See ya Gainesville and thanks for all the fish! So..what’s up with the play on words of both Toy Story and Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy? Well here’s what’s up. After over 15yrs in Gainesville, I knew it was time for a change. Burnt on web business, poor business this year and in search [...]

I had the opportunity to spend several days down in Tampa, Florida with two of my good friends and business partners Bonnie and Patrick. As always, it was a merry adventure. B & P had recently moved into a new home with the kids (dogs) and it had a nice pool which I took advantage [...]

Went to Jacksonville today with Tom for an RX7 meet. The Jax rotary community hasn’t done much over the last few years so it was nice to see them get together again. The local Mazda dealership supplied food and drinks which was a nice touch. Plenty of cars and good people. Had an interesting encounter [...]

Been slacking again. What’s new? The last week has been crazy in Gainesville with the smoke from forest fires everywhere. It has been awful! The heat has been hovering in the high 90′s and may break 100. Hot! Sold a ton of car parts this week…been awhile since I’ve done so. Also have been working [...]
