Dear wife
- September 26th, 2008 -

My wife had a rough day today.  I’m in Seattle away from her and I just wish I was there with her.  It’s hard to express love over the phone.

She rocks.  She’s awesome.  She’s special.  Rachel, I love you.  Hope tomorrow is better than today.   It should be.  Cuz I get home.  Can’t wait to see you. :)

NACAC

I’m at NACAC right now in Seattle.  It’s the biggest conference of the year surrounding college admissions, guidance counselors, admissions officers, etc.  I’m looking forward to these next few days.  They are extremely important for us.  Word.

40 under 40
- September 17th, 2008 -

Utah Valley BusinessQ recently came out with their Top 40 Under 40. They selected me to be on there. I’m not sure why/how they selected me and not Brad, Sid or any of the other guys (they deserved it just as much if not more than I did). But I certainly appreciate the honor and will try to represent well :). Here’s the article and i’m on this page.

The whole theme around it is “school” and I think it’s funny cuz I dropped out of school and the business we run is all about helping kids get into school. I love the irony in it all.

I’m a Chef
- September 17th, 2008 -

My wife was feeling exhausted tonight so I made dinner. I didn’t make anything too tough. Just the usual man meal. Put together some eggs, toasted some toast, threw some greasy bacon on the stove, etc. The basics.

It’s funny cuz whenever I start working my magic in the kitchen I get on this I-wanna-be-a-chef kick. Not only cuz it’s fun, but rather…cuz i’m good. Yes, I’m a gifted chef. I slice, I dice, I chop, I drop, I cook, I look, I broil, I boil, I spill and I grill. I specialize in pan — anything of and/or related to pan work. I’m serious when I say this, I’m good.

Diapers that flush

We don’t have any kiddos yet so correct me if i’m wrong: Dirty diapers stink…big time. I’ve been around families that have dirty diapies hanging around the trash and it’s just gross. Good news folks. Embrace the world’s first flushable diaper, the gDiaper.

For the last 40 years there have been but two choices in diapers. Cloth or disposable. That’s it. Now gDiapers offers a third option. Flushable. gDiapers puts waste where it belongs, in the toilet. Not the landfill.

Anti-theft Lunch Bag

The Anti-theft Lunch bag seems to make perfect sense to me.

If you’ve ever had your lunch stolen, you know the frustration and anger it causes. You know the revenge and ill-will it inspires. And you know that no matter how well you try to hide your lunch bag at the back of the refrigerator, something’s gonna be missing when you open it. Well, lament no more. The Anti-Theft Lunch Bag to the rescue . . .

Anti-Theft Lunch Bags are regular sandwich bags that have green splotches printed on both sides. After your sandwich is placed inside, no one will want to touch it.
