I could not believe my eyes when I saw this ... I was flipping channels last night when I saw this news story break. How could I not have known this was happening? I know my wife is brilliant ... I know she would be an amazing leader ... I just didnt know she had so many backing her!!!

Hockey Blogs And Internet Talk Shows
Hey all ... me again to announce a GREAT new endeavor. I have joined forces with another hockey blogger out of Denver. Grant and I met through Twitter (www.twitter.com) about 2 months ago and we have started doing a weekly podcast (Internet talk show) regarding the NHL and whats going on with the sport. Things have gone so well, we decided to merge our 2 blogs. So ... moving forward ... http://icejunkies.blogspot.com is now www.dailydeke.com
So - check us out over there ... listen to our weekly podcast about the NHL and Hockey in general and let me know what you think.
Not much else going on here ... Dawn is getting ready to jaunt off to London for another week starting June 2nd - 7th ... and it looks like Singapore will be next for her.
Hope you all are doing well and don't forget -

Updates and Hockey!
Dawn is heading back to England in 2 weeks ... then she is working on a Singapore / Australia jaunt. She has been busy busy with Cisco and her customer videos. I am sooooo proud of her and the product that she is giving to Cisco has been well received.
With me ... I am working with my boss on QA metrics for measuring how the company is functioning. I have never been in QA before and I am learning some great skills in analytics. Who knew excel could do so many things. Another great addition to my life is a Hockey team. I have joined a beginners Hockey league and start playing actual hockey every Monday night. I'll have Dawn come out and take some pictures of me and my mad stick handling skills. HA
The boys are going to San Francisco to spend 3 weeks with Grandma and Grandpa in July ... they are very excited about that. Dawn and I will be heading out the 3rd week in July to hang out with everyone.
Other than that ... life goes on!

Habits - Hard To Break, Hard To Form
How many times have I told myself, along with the 2 readers of this blog that I plan on posting more frequently here. I think about it each day (seriously) ... something will cross my mind, I'll hear something that conjures up a memory of something and I will think "Oohhh - I should post something about that!" To no avail ... weeks, months go by no postings!
Well ... its time to do something about that. It is so easy to get all wrapped up in daily life and not have the time to sit and reflect on little clues that life throws at you to help you make the most out of it as a person. 2 days ago (April 24th) Dawn and I did our very first 5K jog/walk (walking being the key word) ... but it was still a fast walk. We did the 5k with 10,000 other Orlando area people and it turned out to be an amazing event. Dawn and I, walking and talking, and sharing and laughing and just being out was so cool ... some of the conversations that came up between us during the walk were deep and insightful and some of the discussions were focused on those silly people ahead of us who decided to take heart in the "jog" aspect of the "jog/walk" portion of the 5k. All in all it was wonderful walking with my wife and sharing yet another memory with her.
I am also working on expanding my knowledge of things ... internet and computer related things. Social Media and Social Networking being the main focus for me right now. I think that there is so much potential with this new Social movement going on out here in TriDub land (www) ... everytime I turn around there is another company being launched that will help you do something - save time here and there, communicate with your friends, make new friends, dont forget the birthday reminders! Speaking of ... Its my birthday today ... which explains why all the deep thought and thinking in retrospect.
I have had this blog now for 16 months ... I have blogged about my wedding to Dawn, our honeymoon, our vacations, our kids, our trips away, Dawn's business trips, my company I started, my company I closed down. I have also included stories and pictures of my family and especially Tyler and Bryan, both who have grown into very smart and adoreable young men.
My goal for this blog going forward is to create an online journal of my life, my thoughts, passions, beliefs and convictions. My love of gadgets and technology, my journey through life alonside Dawn and my roll as father to the two greatest boys on earth. Every once in a while I'll force Dawn to contribute to this blog and throw her 2 cents into the mix.
So dont give up on this blog quite yet ... leave comments, ask questions, thats what this Social Media is all about! Its not a technology or platform or offering some new Web 2.0 company brings to you. Social Media is a mindset ... its a way of living and thinking and it is what will revolutionize the current way we use the World Wide Web from now on.
Peace to you all ... till next time.

Finally - A Post From Dawn!
So many things to say. . .
My big news today. Bernardo had a bath. He hates me, especially because I tried to be "nice" and blow dry him so he would not be cold. He was NOT amused. He is however enjoying being cooked for. Our friend Robin has me convinced the dog food will kill him, so now he's on a people food diet. Today's menu, rice, mixed veggies and ground turkey. Smells awful, he loves it. I guess if your basis of comparison is Iams lamb and rice -- it is nirvanna.
Billy may be the nicest husband in the entire world. He braved the 46 degree temperatures (Ok, laugh if you want, but I cannot be that cold, I'll die, it's true) to walk our puppy for me. AND he just refilled my wine glass just to be nice. Seriously, I married well.
My last random thought tonight -- perhaps I should buy a 4 quart duch oven. Why? Well, here's my problem, when I start to make "soupy" items that go in the duch oven (Chicken & Dumplings, soup, chili verde, stew etc) The recipe magically swells to consume all 8 quarts of capacity my two current duch ovens offer. When you are a couple living alone, this is a bit absurd -- imagine if you will, 8 quarts of alphabet soup. For the record, we ate it all in two days -- I especially enjoyed mine with goldfish in the bowl. What could be sillier than an grown-up eating alphabet soup with goldfish in it? I don't know, but I was pretty happy.
Oh wait, one more rant, if you read this soon, send Bill and email and tell him that we'll have a GREAT time on a float at Orlando's Mardi Gras and he should take me! I'll be your best friend!

LA Bound
Wrapping up a "leave early" Friday - heading to Southern California to hang with the Lindley's and also meet up with some friends. Watching the Super Bowl on Sunday (3rd year watching it at Brian and Michelle's) ... looks like this is turning into a tradition!
Not much else to report on - been crazy at work. I'll post more later ... maybe I'll jot something down on the plane!

New Year, New Challenges, New Possibilities
If you know anything about me - my life is less than dull and boring. Sure I spend way to much time on xbox and the Internet being a geek ... but when it comes to ideas and formulating the next "great idea" my mind never rests. Recently, as you all know, I tried to start a company that was going to revolutionize the real estate market and help agents generate leads on houses - well, seems I was about a year to early with my idea ... which has taught me a valuable lesson:
1. Timing is almost everything!
There are a few other nuggets of wisdom that I now carry with me from my 9 month experience, but timing is at the top of the list. How can you convince someone that your solution can solve their problem, when they don't know they have a problem yet ... at the same time, how can you convince someone that you can solve their problem when they have either become complacent with their problem or there are 15 other solutions out there because so many people have the same problem.
This has been on my mind lately because I have had a couple new ideas tossed around in my head ... and one idea brought and placed in my lap. Before when I was starting my company, last year, I thought about to me ... it worked. Now, I am turning it around and asking "is society ready" ... will this solution be accepted by the masses in general? Its a gamble and a science all rolled into one. The science is being able to see the trends before they happen and the gamble is having the means to build your vision.
This year I am going to focus my senses on looking for trends, seeing what is on the horizon and using what I have learned to create my ideas. How many times have you said ... "That seems so simple, why didn't I think of that?" Well friends - you think about it everyday. You think about those simple solutions all the time ... you just need to tune your logical brain in with your creative brain.
And that is how empires are built!
Till next time ... (and next time will be very soon)

Christmas, New Year and The Bristers
Well it is now 2008 and the holidays are over, life is getting back to a reasonable pace and the boys are wrapping up their 2nd week long trip to see us. It has been an amazing 2 weeks spent with Tyler and Bryan. We have had some good laughs and some very good conversations (however, the boys call them "lectures") ... but overall it has been a good time and I am very proud of my boys.
We are focusing this year on planning for the future ... goals, dreams ... What they wanna be when they grow up! So far all I have been able to get out of them is "I don't know!" So, I guess persistence is going to be my focus for 2008.
Dawn and I have been talking allot about "resolutions" for this year ... she jokingly says her '08 Resolution is to be more mean! ha ha ... I nervously laugh at her when she says that (don't want to give her a reason to start living her resolution) *smile* - My resolution this year is to be a better friend to those that are worth my friendship. I have many acquaintances, a good group of people I call friends and a few great friends. I am going to focus on investing more of myself into my great friends and core group of friends. Open myself up, become an example of how a friendship works. I'll write more on this later ... since I have Tyler and Bryan peering over my shoulder while I type this - they are waiting for us to head over to Universal Studios today!!!
The boys go home tomorrow - it will be sad to see them go, and I will look forward for the next time they come down here to visit.
Oh yea - my other resolution is to commit to this blog more. Make frequent updates and use this as more of a "life journal" for me.
I wish you all a happy and wonderful New Year ... I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday with laughter and family!
Till next time ...

Thanksgiving and Our Boys
Its 10am on Saturday November 17th and I am picking the boys up at the airport today. This will be the first Thanksgiving I have had them in a very long time and I am so excited! Got me thinking about all the things I am thankful for ...
1. Family - Dawn, Tyler, Bryan, Mom & Dad, Eric, Cina and the girls ... yeah, it may be cliche but when you boil it down to the basics ... Family comes first. I have an amazing, very close knit family (Mom makes sure of that!) ... I am so blessed to have everyone I have.
2. Friends - Not the friends you see "once in a while" ... the friends you talk to every day. The friends you see more than once a month. The friends who are still your friends after all the time they spend with you ... and they still accept you for who you are. Dawn and I are extremely lucky to have such incredible friends in our lives here in Celebration ... along with Southern and Northern California ... and now Illinois!!!
3. Life - Not just the living / breathing life ... but the life we inject into our days. Our conversations, our disagreements, our teamwork, our motivation to overcome the obstacles "regular life" puts in our way. My "Life" now is full of life - if that makes sense. My outlook, My passion, My drive ... all stems from the "Life" I have created ... and I could not have asked for a better team mate than the one I have now!!!
So - this week, while Tyler and Bryan are here with us ... I am going to take the time to talk with them about what makes them happy, what makes they thankful, what they want to see change and happen over the next year to improve their lives. Yeah - I know, pretty deep for a 15 and 12 year old ... but I am confident they will understand what I am teaching them ... in about 10 years when they "grow up!" Its been a while since I have posted and I am going to start adding more frequently ... hopefully I still have people popping onto the blog! Maybe I'll blast out an email to everyone letting them know I am back above water! Its been a CRAZY 4 months to say the least.

One Year Anniversary!
Dawn and I are preparing to celebrate our one year anniversary in 28 days ... We are celebrating a bit early this year (2 weeks). This weekend we are preparing ourselves for 11 wonderful days in Italy. On Tuesday Sept 18th we take off for 3 days in Rome and then Saturday we fly to Sicily for 7 days. We have an overnight stay in Rome before we head home on the 29th. I can not believe how fast this year has gone by. So much has happened and all I have to say is I HOPE the next year, 5 years, 10 years are as fun, challenging and educational as the past year has been.
I do not know if there is going to be access for me to post updates to the blog ... if there is you will know. If there is not - check back on October 1st for the updates, pictures and stories.
Till then ...

Barber and Beauty Emporium
Hey all - its been pretty quiet here over the past month. Tyler and Bryan are back in school, Tyler is in his Freshman year of High School and is playing football - according to him its "tiring and hard" ... but when you ask him about the plays and hitting people his eyes light up. Hopefully we'll be able to post up some pictures of Tyler playing. Tyler also turned 15 this past week ... yes, to answer your question - I do feel pretty old right now! Bryan is starting the 6th grade ... so far so good - no complaints from him yet.
So ... the big news of the month (aside from Tyler turning 15 and Bryan starting the 6th grade) is that my friend here in Celebration owns a beauty salon called Barber and Beauty Emporium you can CLICK HERE to see the website. Anyway - over the past couple months the local NBC affiliate WESH 2 News has been holding a contest for the "A List" which is like a "Best of ..." contest. There were about 15 or so other salons competing for the "A List" and last week the votes were counted and they announced that Celebration's Barber and Beauty Emporium had won the "Best Salon" category!
I just wanted to throw this info up here quickly - Al and his salon is awesome, I will post more about Al later ... right now Dawn needs me to spark up the grill and get it ready for the delicious steak I am about to serve for lunch!
Hope you all are well ... more to come soon.

Why Celebration Florida Rocks!
1. We live 10 minutes from Disney World and can hear the fireworks every night from our house.
2. We live 4 hours away from the Florida Keys - its absolutely a tropical paradise.
3. We live 90 minutes from either coast - West Coast (Gulf Side) or the East Coast (Atlantic Side)
4. We live 30 minutes from Universal Studios.
5. Our downtown is quaint and the people know our names when we walk into stores.
6. When the Space Shuttle takes off for the International Space Station ... this is what we see from our balcony!

There are many many other reasons why we love living here ... these were just the ones that came to my mind in the last 3 minutes it took for me to create this posting!
Dawn is out in California again - San Jose this time. I cant wait for her to get home again - I am starting to get good at this "clean up at the last minute" lifestyle! What we men do for our women to make them happy!
Hope you all are well ...

Its An Ocean Thing!
Here is Dawn with Heather (Jose took the picture) ... We met Jose and Heather on our Honeymoon Cruise! The coolest part is we have stayed in touch through email ... I have tried to hook up with them when I do my quick trips out to LA to catch a Hockey Game of visit our God Son ... but I have never been able to get together with them. This time Dawn was able to visit them. Dawn had a GREAT time and they were kind enough to take Dawn out to the coast so she would be able to hear the waves crashing and the beach sound - Dawn called me, but all I could hear was the wind blowing! Oh well - next time we go out there, we'll make it a point to catch up with Jose and Heather!

6 people in a 2 bedroom condo ...
... sounds like the title of a song! However, it is my REALITY this week. My mom and dad flew out from California last week, Tyler and Bryan arrived last Friday for 9 days of NON-Stop action and fun with Grandma and Grandpa! I'll tell you - it has been full speed.
We have been having fun ... visited our cousins in Ocala, went to a local race track to watch the Sprint Cars, Shopping, Movies, Projects! Since my dad is here ... and I am not all that "handy" around the house. We put a fan up in the living room and under cabinet lights in the kitchen - Well, not "WE" per-say ... more like "Dad."
Today (Tuesday) we are going to finish school clothes shopping for the boys and then we will go see that new movie "Ratatouille" (or however you spell it). Dawn is very excited about seeing this movie since she has allready purchased the little figurines of the rat! Yes ... and she has them displayed in the kitchen too! *smile*
Tomorrow - July 4th ... we are going to spend it with friends, BBQ's and an 80's themed party in downtown Celebration where at 8pm the band "A Flock of Seagull's" will be playing. If you went to High School in the 80's ... dont be jealous! ha ha ... I'll be sending pictures and video's from the concert to the blog for everyone to enjoy.
I cant belive we are half way through the boys visit here ... time goes by way to fast for me when they are here. We have so much fun and do so many things ... it will probably take Dawn and I about 4 days to catch up on the lost sleep we need.
Anyway - its time to head out AGAIN!
Till next time ...

Dawn is very excited about seeing this movie since she has allready purchased the little figurines of the rat! Yes ... and she has them displayed in the kitchen too! *smile*
Tomorrow - July 4th ... we are going to spend it with friends, BBQ's and an 80's themed party in downtown Celebration where at 8pm the band "A Flock of Seagull's" will be playing. If you went to High School in the 80's ... dont be jealous! ha ha ... I'll be sending pictures and video's from the concert to the blog for everyone to enjoy.
I cant belive we are half way through the boys visit here ... time goes by way to fast for me when they are here. We have so much fun and do so many things ... it will probably take Dawn and I about 4 days to catch up on the lost sleep we need.
Anyway - its time to head out AGAIN!
Till next time ...
