I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I have tasted inner peace. . . or maybe that was cum. Events fly by, barely colliding with each other in an attempt prioritize. Music is a central theme in my life, just as cigars are. Not in that Monica Lewinsky way; but as Freud once said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”.

Been working on my laser thinking, morning planning sessions. I have made much progress in clearing the back room out and turning it into a place where I can do business and maximize my productivity. Jesus Christ!!! Are these run on sentences or what!!??

I am having a lot of fun playing with all the new tricks. In fact, when I am done writing, I will pop in the tape and learn Jerry Andrus’ Zone Zero. Stealth Retractor is now officially on my “Recommendation” list. And I continue to plow through X-Oteric Forces Unseen. Lots of New DVD’s. With them, a bunch of new enthusiastic customers. I am adapting as well as I can to the troubled times in downtown Cincinnati. Starting to feel the results and the numbers are looking up. Amazing what a little tenacity will do. Or maybe I’m too stupid to stay down. Always looking for the next thing, always eager to make a mistake. Hell, that’s real life. Like baby puke, some things just stink.

Asking myself all the tough questions - “What Matters Most”

My Family
My Friends
My Work
My Art

What do I believe - what are my governing values:

I value my family:

Without them I would not exist. They are my world, my bubble, my heart and my soul. I have a Beautiful and loving wife who mothers my 4 children in a way that only she can do. They complete me as a man. I get to live out my dreams every day. A child's laugh is magic. And a wife's’ kiss well, divine.

I value my friends:

I have always maintained that I did not have so many friends, that I could afford to loose even one. I am blessed with many people who I love, and that love me. Old friends and new friends offer much in the way of diversity.

I value my work:

I love my job!!! Not a day goes by that I don’t feel like going on in to the beautiful Carew Tower to work. I take my job very seriously. I mean just the other day I ordered more fake dog shit, stink bombs and cigarette loads.

pushing midnight. . . school night. . .

Buster and I will be up at 6:00
