Hello to all! I hope this finds you all and finds you well. I just thought I would take a minute and update what has been long overdue. First things first.
I went to a Benefit Screening of Will Ferrell's Talledega Nights. He sat 2 seats behind me, with no one between us. He spoke to the whole theater before the movie and was incredibly funny in person. I didn't get to meet him since he was "too tired from all the week's promo" to go to the VIP reception that we paid a bunch to go to (actually a gift from my sister) But I did get to see him and hear him speak in person and be 4 feet away from him so it was cool. I did however find myself shaking hands with a conversating for about 15 minutes with the film critic Richard Ropert of "Ebert & Ropert." Actually a very subdued guy in person, but very nice and pretty down to earth and cool.
I followed that with going to the Western Open that was held in my town, and stood about 10 feet away from Tiger as he made his big charge during Saturday's round. Tiger went on to finish 2nd for the tourney. Here are some pictures:
I have been working a ton lately and work has been going very well. Grillz are selling like mad and I am actually heading to VEGAS, for the first time in my life, for our industry's largest Trade Show of the year. I am hoping it goes well and hoping I get to play some good poker only 2 days after the World Series of Poker ended. (actually one since it ended today)
And finally, when I at last return from Vegas, I will be going to see the Goo Goo Dolls and The Counting Crows in concert in Chicago as a gift from my wonderful wife. I am so excited as the Goo Goo Dolls are my favorite band and I have never had the chance to see them live, althought I have heard they are lacking live, but oh well.
Then life might settle a little while but only until Labor Day when I finally get to return to Maryland to see my family and visit for the first time since Christmas and for an occassion other than someone's funeral. (4 times was just too many last year)
Life is busy but good. Work is good. I am blessed and lucky to have such a wonderful wife. I am developing my new business venture currently in the process of shopping for a business loan, supplies and getting the graphic design for the logos and websites done by a company in Bangladesh, I think. Anyways, I will write more later but I hope life is treating you all well. Please drop me a note or a call sometime and let me know how you are doing.
Much love. Laugh. Love. Live. Holla.
