What a Busy Day

Oy...I tell ya there are too many old people out there. Well, i've come to that conclusion after the latest round of updating the contact database. That is good for me and my pops though. With all the baby boomers starting to get too old to take care of themselves the market is increasing for companies acquiring or developing more retirement facilities. I guess that means tomorrow is printing and verifying labels, printing all the letters going out, and that means Monday is the day for licking 500 envelopes. Oh boy...can't wait.

I am heading to the temple tonight. It's nice to go and participate in ordinances there. A large group of us are going to the temple in Redlands to do baptisms for the dead. For those that are scratching your head, may I suggest the URL below.

It will answer most of your questions. If you have more feel free to email me.

The bonus is this. My car is in the shop, not that the car in the shop is a bonus, but that means I get to use the convertible. I am one of the drivers for the evening that means driving all the way to Redlands and back on a very nice So Cal evening. Plus maybe some of the hot girlies will be like...oh we wanna ride in the fun car. Now that is always a bonus.

We Come From Planet Jive

That's right folks. Those wacky guys from Planet Jive, you know the Jive Aces, are coming into town this week. Nice to be able to catch them on Saturday cause these cats are from London. They don't get to this side of the pond that often. Just trying to get some plans finalized with some peoples to dance with.

The thing with the show is that it's at PBDA (Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association). They used to have a pretty decent regular crowd at their events. However, these days it can kind of get a bit scary. Plus I like to have a wide range dance skills in the peoples I dance with. Sometimes it is kind of like bring your own friends to dance with. So, being that the ladies said they wanna dance with me now that I am back in town, I am giving them a golden opportunity. It looks like Chris might make it. I haven't danced with her since a couple months before moving to Florida. I am pretty sure Lora will go cause she owes me. I am just now trying to convince Jamie to go. Oh yeah, if I can get Megan and Kelly to go that will round out the group pretty nicely. Of course I should probably get a couple of the guys out to. Although I will wear myself out dancing it wouldn't be fair to the ladies to only have me to dance with. Hopefully I can convince both Trager and Ben to come out. Hey if Ben comes out that means Sheri will be there too.

It looks like the startings for a really sweet party on Saturday. I will try and get some pics up.

Web Site is Finally Done

Well, I finally got my dad's company website done and it is published. After a long time of pushing my pops finally has an online presence for his company. Which as all of us know is so crucial these days. So hopefully it helps to draw in lots of business. The company can really use the cash influx so I can go from hourly to salary. Then I would just need to work on the next part of my slow but methodical evil plan to take over the world.

For anyone that wants to check out the website the URL is below.

I am still having a couple issues with the email servers but those should be fixed by the end of today. Now I get to finish the groupings in the never ending contact database. After that it is on to the marketing campaign. It's going to be old school yet uniquely personal. It is also going to involve me licking at least 1200 envelopes. Yeah, that's gonna suck.

Lyrics and the Brain

So as I sit here programming a couple web pages, ok learning to program some web pages, something just dawned on me. There is a great deal of my brain filled up with song lyrics, particularly songs from the 80's. It doesn't matter what genre of music, I just seem to know the lyrics to way too many 80's tunes.

Or course I have brought this on myself this evening as I am currently listening to said 80's music. But honestly, how much of our brains are filled with lyrics to random music. Stuff that you don't realize that you remember but as soon as the song is going you are singing right along with it.

Case in point....

Thinking of a master plan
This ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket all my money's spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up nothin but lent
So I start my mission leave my residence
Thinking how could I get some dead president's
