My wife and I love our furry children but SHHHHH, don’t let them know. They are spoiled rotten!

Time to pull the turkey from her overnight brine.
After many years of driving my faithful 1995 Chrysler LeBaron and driving a hand-me-down car gifted to me by my beloved father for a few years, it was time to finally get a new ride. Brandee had been encouraging me to do this for a long time but I kept resisting. I just wasn’t into status of a new car when the car’s I had still worked well.
So on one fine Saturday morning in the summer of 2014, Brandee, my parents and I head out to the dealerships. I had no intention of making a purchase. It was my plan to just do some investigation. Others had different ideas apparently :-).
I was very open-minded in my choice of cars but I knew I wanted a muscle car for sure. I narrowed-down my selection to 3 different manufacturers and models. These were a Chevy Camaro, Ford Mustang or Dodge Charger/Challenger.
In the end I selected the Dodge Charger. Of all the choices this was the one car that had the best combination of sporty and practicality. I like the fact that the Charger is a four-door and, in retrospect, this was a wise choice. I couldn’t have imagined trying to chauffeur business associates in a two-door or lift Jack’s 95-pound body into a two-door.
The Dodge Charger is worthy of 9 out of 10 Steeler Stars.

It’s the strange time of year for me. As fall sets-in and we start considering what Halloween costume we are going to wear or we start planning our feast for Thanksgiving and business generally slows down, it’s always just the opposite for me – and I love it!
This is where a competitive advantage can set you ahead. Before the end of 2014 I have much activity planned and many initiatives to take care of. I’m really excited about these great opportunities. Also, the clarity of a mid-term plan into 2015, and even further ahead is becoming clear through effective communication. This is absolutely refreshing.
Lotsa Family Events still in 2014
But, of course, the work-life balance comes into play and family is the first priority. So between now and end of year my schedule goes something like this:
So, here’s wishing you a terrific closing to 2014 and great opening to 2015 no matter how you choose to spend your time. Your time is precious so spend it how YOU choose to.
-Kevin
