A fine, bright new day... PLEASE

Just a quick note before I hit the hay. It's been a long day (very long) and I still have a lot on my mind and "to do" list, but I have a 7:30 a.m. meeting tomorrow and I must crash. One last long day before we take off at 11:30 Wednesday a.m. for Europe - I am so very psyched.

I hope that I can find a way to put all the sh*t from this day behind me so I can really enjoy our vacation. I can't wait to be back in Italy and enjoying their wonderful culture. It will be a wonderful reunion seeing Dr. Roberto Crochetta and being a guest in his home again. I can't wait for him to meet Chris and share his world with her, too.

Well, I can hear the wind and see the rain on the window pane. Perhaps it's been sent to wash away the grime from this day, to usher in a new day... a fine, bright new day. That would be my prayer this evening.

Peace.

"Yes" to "Just Say 'No'"

I am loving the Capital One commercials with David Spade playing a snarky, dismissive customer service rep. They are some of the funniest I’ve seen in a decade. I especially like the one where David tells Patrick Warburton (David Puddy of Seinfeld fame) "No" one too many times and Patrick chases down Spades chubby co-worker in the bright yellow shirt. Hilarious!!!

And here's and intersting fact, I just read that Capital One spent over $285 million in 2004 on ads!

What's in your wallet?
