Well since the last update, I have been finding myself caught up in Chicago sports again. I can finally actually watch the Bulls, now that we have reached the playoffs and they are more widely televised. This first round playoff game was definately a step in the right direction for the team. This is the first time that they have made it to the playoffs since MJ left the bulls post 98 season. IT was a good showing and definately shows that they deserve to be in the playoffs and might actually do well. I would like to say that the colors on my website are in dedication to the Chicago basketball season, but it just happens to be a spiffy coincidence.

Da Sox are still showing their winning ways with their best season start in franchise history, which is definately cool considering the players that have left the team and how well Ozzie is managing the team. 15-4, hopefully they keep going and have the chance to take the pennant, I know this is quite an achievement to be talking about at this point in the season, but that is the whole reason that they play, to win.

Aside from sporting events, there have been good times going on. The microgathering of former co-workers down at on the border was a good time. It has been a while since we have gotten together to just bs and have a good time. We used to all go out to the bar all the time, but it has been a while since this group of people have been there, especially phil. I have been enjoying time out and just chillin out and talking with people lately. I will say that going out with Deanna has been quite enjoyable as we have met at the bar a few times this week and wow ….. can she cook. Our dinner on Friday was quite enjoyable good food, a good bottle of wine, and some good conversation make for a good evening. Finally after several weeks, I had a chance to go out with Abby and that group of people, that was a good time, but entirely too loud at Mulligans.

It seems that the bar is one of the best places to talk to people about business. I have gotten us involved with a local custom knife maker to mark his knives and boxes, possibly even some of the jewelry that he makes. A lot of titanium and damascus steel are in the variety of things that he will need marked. I hope that we are able to please that customer and make more sales via his works. Our first internet order has been filled and I can only hope that the customer was as happy with the product as I was.
