Hello

Hello to everyone in the blogosphere, I'm making my first and probably last blog post. Lauren and I are getting ready to go down to Salem for my niece Riley's birthday today. I have to say that the whole blog concept is pretty new to me. I'm not used to people who I don't know knowing about what I do and even who I am. On the flip side, I'm horrible about communicating things to my family, so Lauren makes it easier for them with her updates. She is very baffled right now that I'm posting an update to our blog and she wants me let all my family members and friends know that wedding thank you cards are coming from me whenever I finally sit down and do them. If anyone knows me, they know that it will probably be awhile. Especially after I finally get my birthday present. Lauren was nice enough to get me a wireless MP3 mixer with wireless headphones. Unfortunately, it's on back order and I don't know when it's going to arrive. I'm sure it's going to drive her crazy when I get it and turbo out for hours on it. We got back from Vegas last weekend, it was fun but we're getting to old to stay in a cheap place way up the strip (Circus Circus, which is amazing for people watching!). Next time, we'll step up our game and stay somewhere nicer. I was pretty much on overload the entire time I was there. So many people and flashing lights and signs. People that know me know what I'm talking about. I think the most amazing thing were the people on the street handing out the cards for "escorts". At times there were more than 40 of them in a row, snapping their cards at you. Annoying, but it must work since their was so many of them. Business is great, my store keeps setting sales records every month. Hopefully, the IPhone will prove to be recession proof. Anyway, enough rambling for now. Hello to everyone out there if I know and I look forward to meeting everyone else in the future. -Rick
