#TEAMMATRAY:

... So, my Wife and I got married last November and by all accounts, it was a huge success - The weather held out for us even though we cut bait on having the ceremony outside; there was tons of dancing and even more liquor. Honestly, it was darn near perfect...Including a little get together at my Parent's where my Mom asked everyone to bring their favorite love song - Well, for Valentine's Day Gifts this year we are making CD's for everyone that was at my folks' place that night with all the songs...Good times. Here is the album cover art I finished today:

CLIENTS:

... Had a pretty awesome day today actually - It is amazing how well (...I think) I do with clients...Especially my Education Clients; which of course are 99% of them. I really think that my family's background in education helps me work with not only educators but also administrators; it is a delicate balance - AND - My love of the construction process seems to also help me with District's Facility Departments...Such a great meeting this morning with Facilities and our ID; then followed it up this afternoon with a productive, active and involved Steering Committee Meeting - What will tomorrow hold? - Will I draw something?

TEST, TEST, TEST:
