Home at last.

Well I've been home for a few days now. Its so nice.

Friday is June 1. The weather is great, so its time to enjoy the summer, its prime time. Golf is awesome with my sons, and my buddies, and Aida has been the perfect wife. I am spoiled, its so nice.

There is a lot going on now. I have to get ready for the show in LA in mid July, a show in Berlin, Germany in October, and my managers in are getting ready to open our 11th store in St. Catherines real soon. This is going to be a great moment in the history of AWN. St. Catherines is going to be another beauty.


What is our number one seller now in all our stores? The 3-Speed Coloured Bullets. They are designed for outside clitoral stimulation and have 3-Speeds that go from "Gentle" to "Rock my world"! No vibrator ever sold better in the history of AWN. That says a lot.


Anyway, tonight is family night, confirmation in the church for a relative, which should be nice. Friday night is the big dinner... I love that time. All the family gets together and we all love each other. No drinking so people are always the same. Well nothing serious, there is a little wine for sure, but nobody is staggering or getting stupid.

Dam the roof of my house is leaking earlier this spring. Now I'm installing a roof that is guaranteed for life and its taking a while....my friend Ted says (and he is really funny) tell them its guaranteed for life and it takes them a lifetime to install it.

Anyway, its hot and it BBQ time, Enjoy Life!

Europe

Finally have time for a little Blogging.

Well I went to Amsterdam once again. What a place. When I travel, I'm so proud of being a Canadian. For example, people in Amsterdam love Canadians. The Liberation of Holland will always be one of the most important moments in the history of World War II for Canadian Soldiers. As a result of their efforts, the German invasion of the Netherlands was reversed and the Dutch people were freed once more.

So as a Canadian, the efforts of yesteryear are never forgotten....and don't think I didn't use this during my presentation to get who I deal with to buy my brand.

After Amsterdam I want to London and then to Bournemouth where it is absolutely heaven to live there. The people there are absolutely hilarious. You have to be sharp and listen carefully as they talk fast, but the humour is awesome.

Tim my good friend and has 39 stores and distribution larger than mine. What makes Tim special is he knows even more about the pulse of his business than I do. Amazing guy and yet he'll give you all the fact and figures. He doesn't hide anything, and that is why I love him. He is a true friend in the industry whom I met years ago.

Talk about expensive. He booked me a suite in this hotel by the water, a classic place. All the floors squeaked and it is a super traditional, old style place. When I walked into my room, I knew it would be a large. I didn't want to know the cost. The pound is 2.20 Canadian dollars. The bill for 3 nights, I found out today was close to 800 pounds.... Hello

Tim also booked the hotel in London which I checked into today. One night 265....Hello.

I miss home....

Perfect Weather

I'm BACK!

Well our (believe it or not) AWN Xmas party is tomorrow! Yes, its awards time to reward the people who have done outstanding jobs for us and also for everyone to see and meet. All are welcome. Eat, Drink and be Happy! I enjoy this time. My management team put on a great show. I sit back and watch as they are show people, entertainers I call them. Really they are. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm excited about tonight's fight. I'm a huge boxing fan, so finally I get a taste.

Yesterday I was golfing and started out on fire. I went birdy, birdy, par. then I got too cute and hammered a shot over the green and where I golf, that means Toast. What perfect weather for it. I am walking and refusing the pressure to take a cart. Now way. Need the exercise. Here for example I'm sitting on my ass once again writing this. Most likely all this walking and exercising is being neutralized by the Coors Lite at the end of the round....

See you soon...
