Post Christmas 2006

Well! Christmas is finished and so am I. The Christmas Seasons in the promotional products business has always been challenging and exciting. This was my 32nd Christmas Season and this last one has been all of challenging and exciting - and more. In the last 6 months I have put in more hours than ever - just in order to 'keep up', but then that is what I get paid the "Big Bucks" for.

As you may have noticed or maybe not? Work has been getting in the way of my 'postings'. I did have the opportunity to get in several great pheasant hunts, some fishing and some good time with family and friends.

Sammy has been through some tough times in the last 4 months. It started with a new bout of seizures, and several sinus infections and some GI problems. He has been seizure free for over three weeks now so we are hopeful that his new meds have that part under control. They have an appointment in Rochester the last part of February, but Erin and Jeff aren't real certain what that visit might determine. I guess that Mayo is a great place providing you can live long enough to get in there. And once there have the time, money, and energy to stay for 5 to 7 DAYS! I dare say that none of those Drs. have had to miss a week of work, and stay a week with a very strong 5 year old - that can't see, talk, or walk, that has an attention span that is about 30 seconds long!

Our largest 'market' is in Las Vegas next week. Donna and I and 4 others from the office will be attending. We leave on 1/3/07 and connect in Denver. Providing the snow is gone and there hasn't been more. Back to the office on Monday the 8th - short but sweet trip, all are looking forward to the change of scenery.

That is about it for now......Keep smiling and share the Peace.
