| Photo Recall |
For the past several days my wife has been organizing twenty-five-plus years of photographs.

| Isn’t it Romantic… |
Last week I had the pleasure of dining out with my wife in Islamorada. We had a gift certificate for Pierre’s, and we were in the area so I didn’t think reservations were necessary - apparently they were. The dinning room was closed for a private party so we were… |

| Working Half A Day |
This past week my wife and I spent time with relatives in Las Vegas. My wife’s brothers sent her a ticket to come out on a surprise visit for her mom and dad. And they were indeed surprised. Their mouths dropped open and tears started flowing. We spent a week… |

| Still Learning |
A friend and client of mine recently went back to school to get additional certification for his job. You may think that sounds silly. Why go back to school for something you already do? The answer is simple - credibility. |

| At The Theater |
Last Thursday we went to the Tennessee Williams Theater in Key West to see Tommy Tune. I’m embarrassed to say it was our first visit to this venue, and we are in our seventh year of living here. We travel to Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm and even as far… |

| Strike up the Band |
March 1 is just around the corner and the March winds are not the only thing that will be blowing, so will the horns and wind instruments of Joe Dallas and the Paradise Big Band! |

| Speak to Me |
This weekend I had the privilege to be the keynote speaker at a regional seminar. There were three other speakers before me. All were exceptional with their topics, with their own personality and each as motivating as the next. |

Last week a very close friend from New York City came to visit. He comes down twice a year to fish, dance, and enjoy the Keys nightlife. While fishing in 35 mile an hour plus winds, we discussed the economic woes the Keys had been experiencing and what could be… |

| Going out for Business |
‘Patience is a virtue’ but is costly if you are waiting for business to come to you. Sometimes you have to go out and get business. The most common method is to advertise; newspaper, television, radio, direct mail and now the web. The other way is to go direct. Direct… |

In every city or town there is one watering hole that reflects televisions’ hit sitcom, Cheers. You know, where everyone knows your name. In Marathon it’s the Hurricane. On any given night you’ll find a melting pot of residents and tourists enjoying food, music, dancing, throwing darts, shooting pool and… |

| Snake oil for sale |
We teach our children, when at home always err on the side of caution. Never open your door to strangers without first verifying who they are. Knowledge, we are endowed with at an early age. Similar information should be taught to business owners. As small business owners we work hard… |

| Row, row, row your boat |
I lived most of my life with recreational water access. As a kid living on Lake Ontario, I loved getting out on the water, yet we were always faced with the same dilemma – how to pay for gas. When you are 8, 9 or 10 years old 39 cents… |
