Here’s the back-story: Before we married, Yeni bought her first car. An exciting time for Yeni, having just moved to the US, buying her first car was a pretty big deal. She chose a Nissan Versa, in bright blue, which was promptly named Bluecito. It’s a little car, but it’s a fun little car. Drives… Continue reading Not Choosing Nissan Again

Why I Hate ATT
I have a hate / hate relationship with ATT. A call I just had with tech support re-emphasized why I hate this company (and why we are leaving them in a month).

Thanksgiving Message (2013)
For the last 16 years, I’ve enjoyed Thanksgiving at my parent’s house in beautiful South Florida.

Listen… I’m grateful for our relationship. I do not regret these past 7+ years. After all, you and I have shared some significant events. When we first got together I was single, had an amazing dog, and was finishing up my degree. You were great in helping me connect with other students in my classes… Continue reading Facebook: I'm Breaking Up with You
Marco Rubio Responds re NSA
I recently wrote my state Senators and my representative to let them know I didn’t want the NSA monitoring my communications and that I did not want them monitoring any communications in such a blanket manner as currently done. Basically, to monitor based on probably cause for specific suspects.
John Spence: Five Keys
Yeni and I have been lucky enough to get to know John Spence. John is an amazing business resource and fortunately (for us) lives in Gainesville. Even though his writings and talks are geared towards business success; his advice is perfect for life success. Success! I tell you that, to tell you this… Recently, John… Continue reading John Spence: Five Keys
