And I am GONE

The time has come people. I am in St. Cloud at CitEscape for the last time. I am mostly very excited to be letting go of the company that I helped to grow from nothing, but there is a small amount of sadness leaving the guys who have worked, for the most part, very hard to help. As most of you know, my feelings about the town of St. Cloud are not good. As a matter of fact, I have lived in many parts of the world and even in third world countries, and I can honestly say that I would rather live in those countries than in St. Cloud Minnesota. When I hit the road today knowing that my days in this town are over for good (and I will NEVER take another job there) it will be one of the best days of my professional life. If you ever have the chance to go there, don't. If you look to your right I have placed a new link to the company I will be working for. I hope you all had a great Christmas and have a wonderful New Year.

Moving on...

In the previous post, I talked a little about the boxing match that happened last weekend. Ricky Hatton lost and, I think, he had a decent showing. The hand speed of Mayweather was just too good. Anyway, I wanted to let all of you know that I have accepted a position as a project manager for ADC Inc. I am leaving CitEscape effective January 1st, 2008. I had some very rewarding experiences at CitEscape. I helped start and build the company for more than 3 years but it is time to move on as the past year has been quite challenging. My new job will be 15 minutes from my house and they made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. With this change, Jessica will need a new vehicle to drive and I will be taking our truck. We are going to purchase a 2006 Saab 9.3. Jess loves it and I am comfortable with the reliability and security of the car. So, there you have it. The winds of change have definitely blown my way and here is looking to our future.

Floyd Mayweather SUCKS, Go Hatton!

I am a boxing fan and so is Cub. There is a big fight this weekend on pay per view with two fighters who could not be more different. Floyd Mayweather, pictured on the right, is a great undefeated American fighter. He comes from a broken home. He is unbelievably wealthy and flaunts it. He is extremely arrogant and very hard to cheer for. He talks extensively about his wealth and his cars and his jewelry. His opponent this weekend is also an undefeated fighter hailing from Manchester England. His name is Ricky Hatton and he is pictured on the left. Hatton comes from a middle class nuclear family and grew up in pubs. He will be in Vegas this weekend along with 20,000 screaming and mostly intoxicated Brits. Hatton travels with an enormous fan base who turn the stadium into an enormous party. It is something to see. Hatton is a modest man and is obviously and vocally tired of hearing Mayweather flaunt his wealth. On Saturday night, it will be on at our house and I want to extend the invitation whoever would like to show up. Have a great weekend.
