I am a sucker for roadside attractions.
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our
fellow men.
–Herman Melville
Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral.

with a little CAT CHAT
Every couple of months my business partner and I get together for a summit meeting to talk about our various companies, projects, personal, etc.
We met last night. We are both feeling very positive about the future; however, there's a lot be done to keep the momentum and we have to be careful not to run ourselves into the ground in the process.
We usually have these "summits" at my favorite yakatori restaurant NanBanKan. The food is excellent, but for me it's all about the good luck sacred samurai chef toast. I feel it gives our companies a bit of a boost.
A bit rough and inarticulate, but sincere.
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
–Pope John XXIII
(my favorite FATHER of the Catholic Church and the creative force behind Vatican II)
He also said, “It is easier for a father to have children, than for children to have a real father.”
A VERY HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL THE REAL FATHERS FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
