So yet again

It's been 2 weeks or more since I posted. Been a pretty fair amount of stuff going on, I'll try to break it down below, got a couple of LSU & Saints comments, a little crowing about my excellent decision to leave Florida, and maybe just a tinge of rage. Truth be told, I'm not that angry at the moment about anything, but that could change at a moments notice.

So at work....

• The JV we were working on looks like it's going to happen and the guys we are venturing with GET IT. We had offered some cash up front, plus ownership plus payment for their time spent in the JV. They wrote back and suggested they take a greater % of ownership and no cash, with lesser payments for their. I couldn't have written the letter myself much better.
• The second group we had discussions with had initially turned us down, but this week called and wanted to revisit. I drove up there to talk with them today, and while I'm not sure they "get it", they at least understand it now. Hopefully they will call the boss man and want to move forward. If not, they better get ready for another competitor, because we are entering their market.
• Just got back from a strategic planning session out in the Tx hill country. Nice setting, not sure I would normally want to do that everytime, but the boss loved it, so I guess we're stuck doing it. Had the meetings outside which was different. He loved it, but I thought it was a little distracting.

The golden children are going pretty well in school. We still worry about how many friends they have and whether the other kids are little bitches etc....but there isn't much we can do about it, so we're just struggling along as best we can.

Watched a couple of LSU games since the last update and I can confidently say that this defense, when it's playing well, is as good as any I've ever seen. Offense is still a little suspect, and playing against Alabama scare the crap out of me, but they seem to be playing as good as they have the previous 3 years, so I really can't bitch too loud.

On the other hand, the Saints defense scares the shit out of me and not in a good way. They are playing just good enough to allow the offense to win the games. They need to step it up, but I'm not sure they have the horses to get it done.

Out of time, more later
