It has been awhile since I have had a blog entry. I have had a pretty crazy December. After what has been a good football season turning a profit each of the first 4 months of the season, the bowl season was horrific. The worst in 10 seasons. We are still turning a profit on the season but nothing sours a good season like a month of giving profit back. Now we are down to 4 teams in the nfl playoffs and should be a great finish to the season. A lot of good defense and opportunistic offenses. A lot more points last weekend then expected by most but we released 1 total and it was over in the steelers game. Easy winner. The other reason I haven't been blogging is because frankly I haven't felt much like sharing. My marriage is great and in fact caryns cooking stuff is really taking off. The kids are great and business is good. It is a disappointment from others that has put me into a funk. I always pride myself on knowing who my friends are and who is most likely to betray me. Normally I am correct but I was fooled. I was fooled by people that will look you in the face and smile and then behind your back they do the opposite. That type of environment is alive and well where I live. I remember growing up and there being the same type of behavior going on with some of my friends parents. They would do anything to position their child. Problem is, eventually the childs merits , personality character etc will be the judge and jury as to the success or lack thereof as they go through school and life. The only thing my friends parents accomplished was to create some enemies and some skeletons that people don't forget. Not much has changes in 30 years and it is still going on. As I said, I am not surprised by this, just shocked I didn't see it coming. Basketball is going great and the kids are having fun. After that, who knows but I do know there is a long way until graduation for my kids and it will be interesting how things go. My guess is the best and the brightest will be happy and flourish and the others will not. Mom and dad will have very little to do with that. But I suspect most of you that were and are successful in life already knew that.
The nfl playoffs are good and hoops are going great. If you are interested in turning a profit or going to Vegas, now is the time to sign up.
Have a great week and live like a person that likes what they see when they look in the mirror. You don't get many chances to display courage and do what you know is right. Choose courageously for you and your family.
