Last night’s dinner was simple: ham and cheese grinders with lettuce and tomato. Can’t screw that up, right? Wrong. So I gather the hoagie rolls, the ham and the cheeses, the miracle whip and the mustards, wash the lettuce and tomato and set them to dry. First order of business:...
So I registered yesterday for three more workshops yesterday with SCORE. One is “Effective Selling Utilizing Market Research”, the second is “Writing a Business Plan” and the third is a “Women’s Business Owners’ Roundtable” (which I hope Sarah will be attending with me). The workshops are inexpensive and are all...
It’s really coming down out there. Quickly, and thickly. Chris called to say there are plenty of accidents already, so be careful. I went into the office this morning and hosted conference calls until noon. Then I packed up, went to Costco and T&C, then came home to finish out...

We’re awake, the sun is shining, and we’re getting ready to leave for NY. Gram, Sarah and Ger should be here in about half an hour and then we’re off. So excited to see the baby, and Shaun, and Sue. We haven’t been to their house since the house warming...
