Total Relaxation

When you think of total relaxation, what comes to mind?  Ok, you could probably ask 100 people and get 100 different answers to that question.  Tonight I found total relaxation with a little music, a glass of wine and a tub full of hot water (well it started out hot).  Ah sweet mystery of life!!!!!

I know, it sounds like heaven; and it really was quite nice.  Remember though that I am 6'1" and 225 pounds.  I displace a lot of water!  Additionally, our bath tub is not an 8 person hot tub.  It more closely resembles my dogs water bowl.  Choices have to be made.  Do I sit fairly upright and only my legs are in the water or do I scooch down in the tub and get my chest in the water.  Of course, if I do that then my legs are high and dry.  I chose to alternate between the two positions not realizing that the wet part of your body that is now out of the water gets cold real fast!!!!  Needless to say, I changed positions quickly.

Then there is the matter of an empty wine glass.  Crap, I knew I should've brought the bottle!  What was I thinking???  Even I can't picture me getting out of the tub and running dripping wet to the kitchen for a refill.  I did the only logical thing, I called the dog.  Is my dog the only dog in America that does not understand the command, "fetch the wine bottle"?

Oh well, I waited out the warm water refilling a couple of times, checked Facebook and sent a couple of emails all without dropping my iPad into the bath water.  Finally I climbed out and toweled off having enjoyed a nice relaxing bath. You should try it.

Entreprenuership

So you want to own your own business?  You can read all the books and take all the classes on starting and owning a business.  You can learn how to work the financials and manage the business and maybe you too will start a business and make it successful.  Truthfully there is only one secret to starting and owning a successful business; hire people who will make the business a success.

Serendipity is the term I use when describing the success of our firm.  Call it dumb luck but it really is about the fact that I got lucky and have been joined by people who are self motivated and require very little management.  That is what makes us what we are today; a successful consulting firm with a high level of integrity and a staff that our clients can rely on to make decisions that are in their best interest.  I couldn't ask for more and I think our clients would say the same about the team on whom they rely.

You can't thank the people who make the business a success often enough or loudly enough.  Sometimes you can't even compensate them appropriately, especially in the face of increasing taxes and  government dictated programs.  However, I can always say thank you for being the best team ever and bringing to our clients the best possible consulting service in the industry!  Thank you Convergent Technology Partners!!!!

Drunk Blogging

I will admit that, on occasion, I have been known to text people after a few single malt scotches.  I will go further and admit that I have even posted to Facebook after a few drams.  Tonight however is a first.  Tonight I am drunk blogging!

What should we talk about in this blog?  Politics??  Oh hell no!  Not only is that a subject that I am far too passionate about to drunk blog on, but my rantings would likely bore the hell out of most of you anyway.

How about work? No, let’s not.  That’s what started me drinking tonight in the first place.

I know, let’s discuss women.  That seems to be a topic for the ages.  Of course, unless I want to sleep on the couch for the next year, I had better watch what I put in writing on that subject!!!

Pets???  No, my dog is sitting in front of me with that “I really love you and wish I could jump up on your lap” look on her face.  That won’t work.

I am scraping the bottom of the barrel here.  The Wolverines and the Spartans both won in embarrassing fashion and the Lions and Tigers lost.

This really sucks! I can’t even drunk blog without censoring myself.  How pathetic is that???

Oh well, check back after a few more sips and see if my censor goes to sleep before I push the post key!!!!!
