Dude, where the heck have you been?  How come there haven't been any updates lately?  Where am I supposed to go to get my regular dose of things you thought were hilarious but no one else even understood?  I mean come on, most of the sites I check out have a theme and make sense and stuff.  I count on this site to provide me with meaningless commentary on national issues like how that G-Force gerbil movie causes warts, gets horrid gas mileage, is a sign of the apocalypse and is directly responsible for the banking crisis.

Don't try to give me some lame "I've been working" nonsense.  You still got your nights.  And definitely don't try to blame it on working on your company website  www.salesgeekconsulting.com since we all know Brendan did all the work.  Yes, I know you went to PA to see The World's Cutest Goddaughter but that should have led to pictures here!  Go get some already!

Just shape already and get back with the program before I gotta get all ugly.

Melody is at last healthy and tomorrow is past the isolation window and can be back among people.  I am not sure who will be happier with that--her or us.  We sure missed her while she was at camp but the flu time has made up for it.

Tonight's continuing Melody Moviecation brings us to Twister and Labyrinth.  Friday we went with Back to the Future.  All three went over well with her.

It's been a while, but I'm gonna try to get back in the swing of things.  The first client goes well and keeps me busy.  Melody went off for 12 days for a Summer Enrichment Camp at UVA.  She enjoyed it and I think it was a great thing for her to do.  However, she could not be satisfied with bringing back a UVA t-shirt so instead she brought back swine flu.  There was an outbreak of 8 kids at the camp including one of her suite mates.   We thought she was fine but Monday night she got a fever and we took her in Tuesday they confirmed it.  So it's been a few days of keeping her (and us) isolated to keep it from spreading more.  She feels better now but is starting to make me a little crazy as she gets stir crazy. :)

I'm gonna have to get back in to the swing of the blogging thing again. Getting started as SalesGeek Consulting with the first client last week has proven to be busier as far as start up items than expected. So for now I will leave you with my logo, which I got the final version of yesterday. I had it commissioned by a webcomic artist, Scott Johnson, that I like alot. You can see his stuff at www.myextralife.com. Here is the logo, hope you like it as much as I do--

Things got real busy, real quick on the employment front. I am now officially in the consulting business complete with local business license and everything. I start tomorrow with my first client.

Partly because of the work update, partly at Brenda's request and partly because it was itchy the beard is now gone. Here is the end picture of the beard experiment and some interim pics from the shaving process of different looks Melody wanted to see.

It's gotten to where it actually looks like a beard being grown and not just a slack approach to shaving. Now that I am this far along, guess I'll give it another few days to see if I go all the way.

Things are looking really good for lining up my first customer and getting started later this week or early next. Still got some details to work out for this one and then a whole lot of stuff to figure out for the long haul, but it all looks positive right now.

Come on--two in a row? Do you think you are the Cavs? Killing me...

And go Mountain Dew. :)
