Sales Tax Increase in Massachusetts

The sales tax increase in Mass will only hurt the less affluent - the ones who make less than $50,000 a year. They will feel it the most. As a small business, we look locally and we hope that our customers are taken care of by their local government.

Smaller government - isn't that what Reagan promoted ?

Who thought we would live in a country where the gov't owns 61% of General Motors ?

Administrative Professional's Day

Today was Administrative Profesional's Day formerly Secretary's Day- used to be a great day in the flower business. not so much so any more.

Drum Machines Have No Soul

Kindles have no soul. Books Have soul.

I-pods have no soul. Live Music has soul.

Emails have no soul. Writing letters and mailing them has soul.

Technology is great, but let's not forget what got us there.

Fenway Collection 1912

I have a great baseball memorabilia collection. Special pieces of the game that I hold dear. Because the Red Sox are the showcase of my collection- I have named my collection; Fenway Collection 1912.
Today I added another great piece; the 2008 locker room clubhouse chair of Sox centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
Today was also a sad day for baseball as Mark Fidrych was found dead. He was an asset to the game during his short stay. He made the game fun. Thank you Mark. Rest in peace.
