Merry Christmas!!!

Just saw Avatar. Good movie, amazing 3D...it wasn't over done, but integrated into the movie well.

Getting ready to help folks with their holiday shopping with the perfect gift of spa gift cards tomorrow.

Can't get the front tire off my wife's jetta, all 5 lug nuts removed but the tire won't budge. I feel like an idiot.

Breck gained 3 lbs in her first week at home. She also learned how to go up and down stairs and lost her fear of pretty much everything, which will probably come back to bite us soon.

Vikings Win! ... even though they did their best to lose.

getting ready for the Vikes game.

waiting for nice weather to return to CO, they keep saying that it's coming. I just don't know who "they" are.

wondering if he should head out into the cold to go to the bar and watch the Vikings game. If it's even close I'll be VERY disappointed.

Can't believe that it's snowing outside...and sticking, only in CO, it was 70 degrees yesterday.

Take the Advice

As most anybody reading this blog knows, I'm a franchisee. One of the things that I've learned in the time that I have had the franchise is that some people are made for a franchise and others are not. In general I'm a good fit, I follow the system and the advice of the other franchisees 99% of the time. However when I don't I always end up kicking myself. If you're in a franchise you've paid a lot of money in franchise fees and more importantly royalties, make sure you are getting your money's worth by consulting with the other owners and corporate and then TAKE THE ADVICE.
