Is Anybody Out There?

We just got back from the 10th anniversary of the annual DJK/MJP Holiday Season dinner out with our wives. Although I’m not sure we share the same political position I’m pretty sure we come from the same place on a variety of issues – both couples that is.

During dinner I discovered we all agreed that there was more than just a little sunshine being pumped up you know where lately. Example: December had one of the lowest consumer confidence numbers in a while and at the same time consumer holiday spending was the best in years. Another example: while jobs continue to be shipped over seas there are drums beating for how important it is for us all to buy local.

Perhaps someone can help me understand these things. Anybody?

Here it is only  a few days later and I’m posting again – perhaps its the slow business thing again.  So far today I’ve snooped around “WordPress” to see if I can figure any of this Blogging stuff out.  At least that was free, that is until I got to the Domain Name stuff.  Yip, I bought one so the blog name could have just plain old “friendlyskipper.com” instead of “friendlyskipper.wordpress.com”.  All that for only twenty five bucks.  Yes sirree bob this blogging is a real money maker so far.

Well, the last time I sat down to this adventure it was almost a year ago.

Seems I haven’t gotten very far in the last year – that’s to bad considering business is still slow and there are still all those random thoughts bouncing around in my head.

Maybe the new iPad will help.
