Another busy day. Outside of networking and work I had lunch with daughter Elizabeth. We went to Journey to the Dumpling which she had not yet gone to. It is still good though I think I’ve had enough Chinese dumplings now. Was was really nice was talking to her now that she is done with … Read more
I will step back and say I’m surprised and pleased that I’ve written this 300 days in a row now. Even though I think a lot of my writing here is probably pretty dull, it has personally helped me to keep cranking out words. I’m doing more and more marketing emails and other marketing writing … Read more
Yesterday I started obsessing about how I don’t know anything, and I mean anything, about accounting and how I needed to fix that. I at least needed to know enough as a small business owner to not hurt myself with my ignorance. Today I finished that journey. I didn’t need to learn much. I understand … Read more
I went off to shop for ingredients to make curry for dinner tonight and also off to the birthday party for my friend and finance guy Phil’s son. Had a good time there and came home to make curry. Curry was delicious. I started skimming some material on business accounting. I know nothing about accounting … Read more
For a change of scenery, I spent the morning and early afternoon at Peet’s. I had a gift card and it is nice to get out and not have it be networking. I got quite a bit done and am still feeling pretty good. I got confirmation I’ll be doing the YouTube account cleanup project … Read more

Among things there was some client related communications that was good. I wrote one of next weeks marketing emails this week rather than over the weekend. I’m trying to get about a … Read more
I went to Wednesday networking and didn’t except very much. During commercials there was a guy who was remarkably salesy. Projecting his voice quite loudly, well rehearsed but clearly rehearsed, and quite insincere feeling. I found it annoying and I doubt it works well for him. Someone new there wants to set up a meeting … Read more
At today’s networking meeting, a funny thing happened… Before the meeting started, a woman walked in and started talking to one of the regulars, Steve, whom I was talking to. She knew him from prior networking meetings and had not attended in the time since I started going. She needed someone urgently to untangle all … Read more
After a pretty intense work day, I went back to Mas Taco Bar with both my daughters. I picked daughter Catherine up and we met daughter Elizabeth who was driving back from a class at Davis. Happy Hour is 3-6pm at Mas Taco Bar with 1/2 off appetizers and $1 off select tacos. We got … Read more
I had a pretty lazy morning which was nice. I got out of bed when I finally needed to start getting ready for my brunch date with daughter Catherine. Elizabeth still has her test prep class which goes noon to 7 on weekends so Catherine and I drove her to Davis, dropped her off, and … Read more
