Aaron is an entrepreneur who has finally climbed over the wall of his cubicle. Owner of TrimTab Creative and many other future businesses, he is always looking for what is next and what can consume his time and thought (besides his lovely wife). Besides building the next new thing he can be seen in Starbucks cafes across the country with his nose in the latest novel on his Kindle 2, or pen mid-sentance in his Moleskin or Fieldnotes notebook.

Just about every Sunday morning, my dad and I get the chance to talk for a good hour or so over coffee. I look forward to this time and the fact that we only live 3 miles apart right now makes it easy. He will brew the coffee and while doing so start us off in a conversation about who knows what. Today's topics included:
-the economy. He and I both disagree with how the media is portraying this "recession" we are in. "It is no where near what the state of the economy was in 1929, or even 1979." -blogging. I have been telling him for some time now that he needs to start a blog. He is pursuing is doctorate and has a boat load of material up in his head. I think starting a blog would be a great way to get his name out there. It could even be a group blog that he and his classmates write for. A no pressure type thing. I'll keep telling him this :-) -work. We discussed what I should do since my project end date is coming up (March 31st). I'm not certain if the funding/project will be extended, and I'm not sure if my original admin position will still be waiting for me. Questions that will be answered in time, but I'm afraid it will be too late if I wait. -the Inauguration. We still cannot get over two things about the Inauguration: 1) that bogus poem, and 2) the prayer. The poem was 100% stupidity and if you ask me, a first grader could have written a better piece. And the prayer, I mean, what the heck? I believe that racism is still a major issue, and that prayer is one of the reasons. -President Obama. We don't want his Presidency to fail, we want his policies to fail. Bigger government, a government that wants to control every aspect of our lives, is a government that is headed towards Socialism, which is a close cousin to Communism. No thank you. Last time I checked, that hasn't worked out too well in the history of the world. So, as usual, a lot of different topics but always a good conversation.Comments [1]
