My nephew loves to play sports, and is interested in becoming a coach. In addition to learning how to coach the players in how to play the games, he wants to learn more about caring for sports injuries; how to prevent them and how to care for them. He’s been talking about a website called physioroom.com that has a lot of information about caring for sports injuries, and sells a lot of products related to caring for them. He is planning to buy one of their great sports team first aid kits to give to his favorite coach to use at their games and practices.

Well, it’s official.  It is the holiday season.  Yesterday Teri started playing Christmas songs on the stereo.  When I got home from work she was playing the Garth Brooks CD “Garth Brooks & the magic of Christmas.”  We’ve had that CD for several years now, and I have to say it is my favorite Christmas music CD.  My favorite song on the CD is the song “Baby Jesus is born.”  That’s a toe tapping hand clapping song with a really nice beat and great lyrics.  I hope it doesn’t get played so much that I get tired of it!

One of the most important parts of running a successful business is getting the customer’s attention.  There are many ways to do that; some of which include advertising on television, radio, printed media, and the Internet.  On a more local level, customized signs and banners, custom license plates, car magnets, bumper stickers are also good ways to get the customer’s attention.  I was just having some fun checking out the various custom bumper stickers that were displayed as samples on the buildasign.com website.  I think that bumper stickers are a fun way to make a point.  While I was on the website I was also noticing that the website has a lot of different methods to help one promote a business, or a cause.  They also sell banners, flags, neon signs, magnetics, vinyl lettering, vinyl decals, and a wide variety of different types of signs.

I was just reading on the msnbc news website, under the weird news category that one of the White House trees is supposed to have about 370 hand decorated ornaments on it.  The ornaments were done by artists from around the country.  One of the submitted decorated ornaments has been rejected by the White House because it was saluting the impeachment resolution submitted by Rep. Jim McDermott who was trying to get President Bush impeached.  I am amazed at the total lack of taste that the artist showed by even submitting such an ornament!  I’m not a big fan of the decisions that President Bush has made, but I think that he does deserve more respect than that!  I am totally shocked that any artist would even think to submit such a tasteless ornament!  Amazing.
