MERRY CHRISTMAS

I know a lot of preppy people will be jumping in their Suburban's for the Christmas trek to ski country...So I wanted to get out with a Merry Chrsitmas and Happy New Years to everyone....

I am alive

Thanks for a few people checking in and seeing if the preppy guy was still alive...I am...as many people my "real" life has been Topsy turvy...funny how work, health uncertainty can kill a good buzz....

I shall do my best to post once and a while....my piece of advise for all today....smile!!! it makes you feel better right away; try it now!!!

hello

An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

TV's on

In most offices, trading desks and bars around all the TV's are now on, tuned to the NCAA March madness.

Who are your final four?

Mine are: Ohio St; Maryland; Kansas; Georgetown

Winner: Maryland or Georgetown (I'm in like 4 pools).

March Madness

It's that time of the year when everyone gets a bracket to fill out in their office. How many? Well, last year I was in 6 different bracket groups (I ran one of them). This year I am only in one, so far. I am looking at this year's line-ups and it will be tough to figure out the winner.

I'll be working on my ideas today and tomorrow; in the mean-time does anyone out there have any predictions? Who do you think will be the final four? The national champion?

Blackberry Addicts

Is it my imagination or is everyone addicted to their blackberries? I now find when I'm out to dinner people will check their machines in the middle of a conversation. I love my blackberry and I know I must look a little like those people to non-crackberry addicts; however unless I am waiting for some important news (and I would tell that to the people I was dinning with) I can wait to check the blackberry until later. (I think)

As I said I am no anti-tech freak. The exact opposite, I love the stuff. But, when you are at a dinner with friends or colleagues do you need to look at it ALL NIGHT LONG? I admit if I'm out during the day, even for lunch I'll look at it during the meal. During the day is normal; you are away from the office and need to keep in touch.

I want to say a few more things, but my blackberry is buzzing and I need to get it. So ignore everything I just said...I'm an addict too!!!

Updating

Finally changed over to the new blogger...working on it now. I really like the lighthouse!

Tod MIA

Yes, I know I've been MIA for weeks. I have no good excuse; trying to build up a biz and it's been too cold to think about golf or sailing...

I hope to rejoin the preppy fold, if you'll have me, soon...

Happy Ground Hog Day

So if we have six more weeks of winter we can be at the beach next week!!

There was a prediction of 2-3 in of snow this am. The schools "hinted" they would take a snow day because it's Feb. 2nd and they have not taken any...there are a lot of pissed of teachers today!

I hope you see your shadow today!!

rants

So first it's unseasonably warm and every nut with a tv camera is out screaming about global warming. Now it's so cold (with no real snow yet) that we can't even go outside. All the preppy pups are stuck inside and ripping up everyone's furniture. The little preps are just pissed because they can't make a snowman yet. Mom and dad preps can't even show off their argyle sweaters (they need to many layers).

What should we do? This has been such a crazy winter. Please send us a big snow storm so at least we can go out and play...Boy I sound like an eight year old...

ANY SNOW???

Hellooooo OLD MAN WINTER??!?!?!?!!? Are you out there?

Is it going to ever snow? I know a lot of people are loving the nice weather; yes I have been enjoying it too. However, it's time to snow!!! We need to ski!!! If we don't get a snow filled winter how can we enjoy the bright preppy summer?
