Delivering a new route

Friday, May 9.  Hi everyone.  I hope everyone is doing well and happy and healthy.  I had a good day today, yet again.  I did some shopping, some cleaning, some errands, and of course did all the little spiritual rituals that have helped me keep on a good course in my life.  No golf today, it was my day off, so I had a chance to spend a day on my own doing what I wanted!

In the morning, I had a chance to deliver meals ( I haven't in a while because I've been so busy) at a place I hadn't delivered to before.  It was the courthouse apartments, right in downtown.  It was a pretty easy route because I don't have to drive from house to house, just go from floor to floor in one easy sweep.  But I liked meeting a whole bunch of new people.  Some elderly, some sick, some unable to leave their apartments for health reasons.  All were very nice to me, and some noted that they had never seen me before.  I try to ask if I can do anything extra for each of them and no one took me up on it, but at least I felt good in asking.  Everyone is very appreciative of the job we do in getting them food.  It gives you perspective when you realize that some of these folks really have a difficult time getting out of their homes or apartments.  We are all very lucky to have our health.  It helps me not take things for granted.

On other notes, Gabaan is progressing nicely.  Rick is almost done with the autocad renderings, which I will send to the mold maker in Thailand before I go.  Korn is looking and finding fabric samples and producers so that the very least I can do on my trip is choose the fabric for the outside of the fedoras and the fabric for the lining.  Ideally, the mold makers can have something for me to look at before I leave, and I can give them the go ahead to begin production.  That would be exciting, but I'm being patient.  The rest of the work I need to do before I leave is develop a logo and company lettering for the labels and to help develop my brand.  After I come back, I need to think about distribution.  This is a big one as I need to figure out how to get my great product out to the world!

That's it for now friends.  I hope you have a great day or evening, and we will talk again tomorrow, as usual.  Later guys!
