    dmb at southpark meadows was pretty great.  givers at jazzfest was really cool.  took my dad to see the boss at the erwin center for his 50th birthday and had 13th row center stage seats.  that probably takes the cake. 

    Going to my 18th Dave show in May. And they're coming to Austin this year too.

    Obviously my favorite concerts are the ones where I've been at the front of the pit.

    Just like women.  They don’t fuck their best friends.

    Customers don’t buy from their bestest buddy.  

    People want what they can’t have.

    Human psychology is a hell of a thing.

    2 days in and I'm already thinking like an asshole.

    Also I am now a racist, and with good reason. If you're an Indian hotel owner, I'm done. I dictate the terms. You don't like It, tough shit. You're not my kind of customer. You want the technology thatHilton has? I'm your guy. And you will pay for it. Otherwise cancel, you're costing me money.

  3. Lol.

    Spent the day with my new manager today. Been a colleague for 7 years and I've watched him just crush his number year after year.

    He threw a copy of the comp plan at me and said that I have a reputation of being too nice.

    Then he dared me to get a customer so mad that they would call him and demand that I be replaced for being too greedy. He said he wants as many of those calls as I can generate.

    90 days in the bigs and I'm getting acclimated.

    So Hollywood, I'd just wear an Allen Grayson jersey. Or hip check your customer into a table or something.

    well, to be fair, I have been on a , ahem, "extended vacation"....so, these have been rather intensive and 6 months worth of meetings have easily been crammed into those thirty days.

    Buddy, it's all about consistency and just doing the same thing over and over. I'm still going to our Wednesday night men's meeting, still making bad coffee, and I can lip synch the old timers stories cause I've heard them a thousand times. Ah but my problems keep getting higher class all the times.

  6. My dog Callie is awesome.

    Friday night I'm in the kitchen when I hear my fiancee shrieking from the living room.  I run in there, and Callie (13 yrs old, mutt with beagle/hound)is laying splayed out on the floor and she's shaking and her eyes are darting rapidly back and forth.  I thought she was dying, either a siezure or stroke or heart attack.  She didn't seem to be in any pain, just completely unable to control her legs.  Very scary stuff.

    While I'm holding the dog tight in my lap, thinking "this is it, she's going to die in my arms right now," my fiance starts googling "old dog eye rapid movement stroke" and here's what comes up -

    Friday night - callie can't walk, she can't eat, she stayed in our bed and basically shook all night.

    Saturday - She can walk, but she's stumbling around like a drunk.  She goes outside, cat comes up to sniff/investigate, she falls over on the cat.

    Today - She's got a pronounced ghetto lean, but she's eating, drinking, and resting much easier.  Her eyes are starting to not dart around, but she's walking with her head tilted like she's trying to figure out the whole horizon thing.

    Seems to me this is like vertigo for dogs, it's obvious that she had no idea if up was down or down was up - her whole world was just spinning.

    Anyone else have this happen?

  7. Whew! Still sober. By the grace of a loving God that showed me mercy not Justice, I haven't found it necessary to take a drink or drug since January 21, 2011.
