Fish Sticks

So...I knew it would happen. We've gone back and Fourth about the fish needing a heater. Spouse says no, they are fish....I say yes, they aren't trout, they are exotic goldfish....So anyway, I peek out to check on them this evening before locking up the castle, and there is a solid sheet of ice on the pond!!! And yep, no heater plugged in....grrr...and double grrrrr.....all I can say is that it's a good thing I checked or I woulda had frozen little fish sticks by morning....and my spouse would have been responsible for the deaths of 11 helpless little fishies not that he would feel bad about it. Tomorrow I will purchase a padlock for the electrical box and hide the key.....

I have been hooking up with new and old friends via facebook recently and I've been amazed at how great it is. This last week, one of them posted a video of the Gruver High School production of Lil Abner that we did in 1981....it's a hoot to see how young we all looked then! There is only a fleeting glimpse of me in the back but if you can pick me out of the crowd, I'll give you a free copy of my book....

I can't even tell you how great Hawaii is....Todd Dean's seminar went very well so we're all looking forward to LA in a few weeks. Now that work is over, we can be touristas for a few days. The whole TAG team went on a sunset cruise last night. They took us out past Diamond head and the view back to Waikiki was beautiful at night. We saw some really huge turtles from our balcony yesterday summing just a few yards off shore. Since we're 26 floors up we know they were pretty big for us to see them...and a surfer went by one and it was more than half the size of his board...so yeah....pretty big.

Tonight everyone is excited cause we're all going to the Rockin Rockin Luau....that's the one at Paradise Cove...its a six hour event and we have seats right up front so we expect some great fun. I know I will not want to get back on the plane on Wed. Especially since I know its snowing at home. Heather has been of fish patrol and reported today that there are so far no floaters...so that's good.

Its really odd the way business flows your way when you least expect it. We've been contacted over the last two days by three people out of the blue who have heard of our group. Of course the only way you can hear about us is word of mouth since we don't advertise and don't take just anybody as a client. A couple of these people are prominent sports starts and business people so word is definitely getting out - helped in no small part by the fact that we had a #1 on amazon. Amazing what that does for your credibility.

We're also working on some books coming out under our own company imprint...more on that later...must go now and learn the Hukilau......
