So for 4th of July weekend this year I was invited up to North Carolina to spend time with Lindsay and her family. Her Mom, Dad, Aunt, Uncle, brother Kevin, Kevin’s GF Tina, Cousins Eric and his wife Toni and Scott and his wife…something. The trip originated in Gainesville where we headed up to Brunswick, [...]

It has been an interesting 6 months or so. I’m in a very good place. I can’t remember the last time that I’ve felt so positive or so stable. Professionally I’m doing very well with my investment properties. The web dev company is bringing in larger and larger projects which is allowing me to pick [...]

So…Christmas morning finally rolled around…or should I say afternoon. I must say that by my standards, the Kriegs have a remarkably sane Christmas tradition of waking up to Mimosas and not really getting started on presents until about Noon…just my style. The Kriegs are also very organized in their present distribution as each person gets [...]

So it sucks it has taken me this long to share the week I spent with the Kriegs…because I know I’m forgetting a lot of great stuff a month later. The highlight of Christmas Eve was meeting Lindsay’s other brother…Adam. I give her parents credit…even by my standards Adam is a big dude. He’s about [...]

So Wednesday rolled around and with it came Grandma Mimi. Grandma Mimi is Lindsay’s Grandmother on her Mother’s side and she is old school New York Jewish…and hysterical. Seriously, the woman has a great sense of humor and for her age is in very good shape! Wednesday was also cookie making day! Sugar cookies, oatmeal [...]

So…day 2 in Fort Meyers. After another fantastic, stuff myself silly breakfast, there was some last minute Christmas shopping to do. Lindsay and I headed to Norman Love Confectioners and all I can say is wow.

So for the last 4 months, I’ve been dating a great girl. Without going into details, I’ll just leave it at I’m happy and our relationship is easy. With it being the Holidays, that of course meant it was time to do the “Meet the Family Thing.”

Today should be one of the greatest days of my life. We sealed the deal on our largest project ever which will be developed for an International Brand. Instead I find myself typing what will be perhaps the most honest look at myself that I’ve ever given anyone. I expect friends to be disappointed or disgusted…perhaps even amazed that I could be this type of person. The bottom line is I chose a path and it has cost me what really matters.

So…as most of my friends know, about two weeks ago I gave a presentation to a number of non-profit agencies in Gainesville on behalf of James Moore and Company. I had to cover a ton of topics that would hopefully help these organizations make better use of their limited budgets and to not be ripped [...]

So the final day of the cruise, there were no ports of call. Just chugging across the Atlantic from the Bahamas back to Port Canaveral. This meant all activities were taking place on the ship. For Trish and I, this meant (well mostly for me) food and time spent poolside reading in the sun. I [...]
