On Tap

Last night I had a chance to catch up with a former employee who decided to start his own business. It is exciting to talk to him about the growth opportunity while building a business from the ground up. He has a vision that will drive his success for years to come.

Weekend News

This weekend was an very interesting to say the least. A friend of mine came in from New York so we decided to go to the Yankees - Tribe. It was a great event and I was able to spend time with 4 of my close friends. It is getting closer to summer and we had really good weather this weekend.

Golf League 1st Tee

Last night my friend Jim and I had our first night of golf league. It was a very good time to get together and play golf. Although neither of us played very well the exercise was good and weather was perfect. I am already looking forward to next week.

Hoop Dreams

Over the weekend Julie and I were able to assemble the basketball hoop that she bought me for Christmas. Putting the hoop together was certainly more difficult than we expected but last night playing hoops together was worth it. It feels good to get a little exercise and have a little fun together.

Dinner with Butlers

Last night Julie and I were able to have dinner with the Butler family. It is an exciting time for the Butlers as they are expecting their 1st child and Ron has finally finished tax season. Julie and I are lucky to have some of the best friends in the world and I am glad I met Ron over 10 yrs ago.

Cleveland Indians

Although the Indians did not come through again I had a great time at the game. I was able to spend some time with a couple of friends who are really great people. I am lucky to have a core group of friends who I can trust regardless of the situation.

GMAT

My wife has been studying for the GMAT and it is driving her insane. I actually find the use the standardized tests appalling for entrance into graduate school. We were going through some of the questions and I said you will never need this information to complete your MBA or at least I didn't. Oh well she is really putting in the time necessary to excel at the exam and I am sure she will do fine.

Family

Julie and I were able to spend a little time with her family this weekend. Although I had a few things to take care of in the Canton area we were able to have a very enjoyable dinner. We are fortunate to have a strong family that is behind us every step of the way.

Coppertop

A friend of mine and I have been looking for a place that is located somewhat in the middle so we can meet once a week. We finally found a golf course that is almost perfectly positioned and we are going to start playing together. The course looks great but the real fun is after the round in the clubhouse.

Orlando - 2008

It is amazing the difference the sun makes to your attitude. In NE Ohio we are not as fortunate as the people in Florida, Arizona, or California. It was refreshing to spend some time in a different climate for a few days. Although the golf scores were not great the time in the sun and fellowship with close friends was well worth it.

Opening Day 2008

Wow what a first game for the Cleveland Indians. I can honestly say I dedicated 15 yrs of my life to baseball as a young boy through college. Every time I watch a game I think back on those years and yesterday was no different. I was able to watch the game with a close friend of mine and it was truly a great event. Spring is officially here!
