A little  known fact....


The first  testicular guard "Cup" was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was  used in 1974.

It  took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is also  important.

Had a visitor at the office today. Is it Easter? I hope the mommy comes soon. We will check on him before we go home for the day. Btw- my little bunny at home is 14 today- too cool for balloons and most of the birthday paraphernalia. At least he mows the lawn. Let the teenage years begin!  bunny.jpgmyboy.jpg

Long story- cut to the chase..... Found a great real estate team. Buckley Jolley located in Brighton. We just went the interviewing process and found Todd Buckley. It is hard to satisfy both Scott and I but he definately did. Great marketing- great research and knows his profession. I highly recommend. I also recommend his marketing plan. If you are thinking of taking advantage of the market or just want to see great social networking in process- check them out.

MY LIVING WILL
Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her ,
"I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.
If that ever happens, just pull the plug."
She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine.
She's such a bitch.....

I have been looking for some other trade show blogs to see how I measure up. I did find tradeshowlife and then I found the WALL. http://wall.tradeshowlife.com/index.php Remember the guy who sold pixels to buy a house? Same system. The Tradeshow Wall is for enthusiasts but he also can sell and set them up for fund raisers. How cool is that! Jeff Brown is the guy from 314 Network.
