I love you mom, but I’m no poet

I love you mom, even though I may sometimes not show it

I love you mom, for all you’ve done

I love you mom, from Carl, your son

Forbes reported on the 40 wealthiest business people in Japan, and the new resident of the top spot is none other than former Nintendo President and Chairman Hiroshi Yamauchi. Thanks to his large chunk of retained stock in the company and the success of the Wii and DS, his net worth has tripled since 2006 and went up by $3 billion in just the last year…..

(Smart ideas pay dividends in the long-term.)

Today marks the two year anniversary of Katawi and I . We are very thankful for each other and used today to express all the things that we’re grateful for in our relationship. We planned our day around getting things prepared for a special evening in Franklin Park. Sydney was there to keep us entertained with her countless feats of grander.

We’re both very thankful for all the lesson’s we’ve learned in our quest to secure a loving marriage in the near future. We truly love each other.

This is what Peedie and I were grooving to this morning on our way into work. I highly recommend checking out their HBO show. Pure unadulterated hilarity.
