Holy Moley! Bam every bar did incredible. ( haven’t received OKC yet). Austin beating the pack by only a few hundred dollars with San Antonio second. Nashville and Memphis so close. Denver , NY , and Key West super close in sales. Kudos to NY the two day shift girls rang in the night time numbers that most bars put up using 5-6 girls. Pretty impressive! Milwaukee edging out New Orleans . Haven’t heard the Vegas numbers. Hopefully they had a huge night.
I can actually walk today. Healing from crossfit . Will go running. Happy St Patty’s day.

Heading to DC this week to check some things out. I always liked DC.
Bars starting to roll. Love to see the numbers go up after a slow January.
At 5 am my electricity went out. Of course my first thoughts were ” did I pay the bill?” ” isn’t it automatic bill pay?”. I waited till 6 am to go to the local coffee shop since I knew my coffee machine would not function without electricity. Low and behold the coffee shop did not have electricity as well. My first thought was ” fuck I need coffee.” My second thought was ” god dam Entergy, it’s like the Super Bowl all over again.”

First track meet of the season and Jackson has already banned his dad from coming. Lol. In NY, Jackson’s dad would just be one of the many loud dads cheering on their children. But in New Orleans his voice is heard by everyone. He can’t help himself . It doesn’t matter if its soccer, wrestling, cross country and now track. He can’t control himself even when he knows that Jackson gets embarrassed. Lol Thank god I am allowed. Yesterday his dad called to tell me that he had been banned from the game . Beside this not unexpected detail, he also told me that his high school baseball coach had died and in respect for his death he had decided to drop the grudge he held for 30 years for being relieved of his position for a few innings during one game. Crazy is as crazy does.
Austin rocking! All the bars did well except New Orleans. That is disturbing since the French quarter has been packed for St Patrick’s day weekend. Tonight should be great for all the bars.

Austin is on fire! Awesome week. Key West right behind them! I love waking up and seeing all the bars doing well. Sunday is St Patrick’s day! I am routing for Milwaukee to lead the pack that day.
I am very sore from my first crossfit class yesterday. I have another one today. You can’t stop me! I asked Kevin if he was training for the Tough Mudder. His response ” I do the Tough Mudder on breaks from my real workout.” He’s the only nut case that I know that actually decided to get fat , not train and run a marathon. ( I swear, I am not joking). His logic was that he had done marathons before and had always trained. He wondered if he could gain weight , not train and do one. He ran the marathon in the Redwood Forest having gained 25 lbs and not exercising in months. If I am correct, he ran 18 miles and walked the rest. Pretty impressive . He is in good shape right now , so according to him , it will be easy. And Mac sent me this workout that was simply unaccomplishable. 1000 push-ups, 1000 pull ups blah blah blah. I did 100 push-ups taking breaks every 25. And I did a 1/2 a pull up. I am working on that.
Can’t find my glasses so who knows what kind of typos this blog has.

Denver staff: All staff, male and female are allowed to bring their significant others to the anniversary party. ( Anniversary parties are the one time of the year that this is allowed.) I am so excited for our Oktoberfest in March! Fun fun fun)
After Tommy and Daniel realized that I throw the best anniversary parties we made a wager. I already proved my superiority in NY. Now I am helping Pinky in Denver then Mac in Memphis.
It’s on!
Tomorrow my first crossfit lesson! Tonight kickboxing. I will not be the weak link on our Coyote Ugly Tough Mudder team!

Kevin and Mac have signed us up for the Tough Mudder outside of Vegas. This is nuts. I just emailed the owner of crossfitnola to try and get trained. I went on the website and I need to up my game. No fooling around. I am in.
Key West starting to ramp up with spring break. Austin Has South by Southwest! Bam Austin is rocking!

Nothing more satisfying then hearing your son say ” this was the best trip ever.” Ah I have done my job.
The body is a machine and as a machine it finally breaks down. Last night I couldn’t fall asleep until 4 am. I woke up at 1:30 am. In my world sleeping like that is unheard of. Hopefully I will be on point tomorrow for the New Orleans anniversary party.
All that rice in Japan and I am coming back a few pounds heavier. If my calendar is reading correctly I have a week with no traveling coming up. I keep searching my mind thinking ” you have got to be somewhere?” What will I do with myself?
Lee and his wife Dre created the funniest entry for The Walking Dead challenge. When he officially submits it I will post . I really want them to win too funny.
Jeff and Cassie( am Memphis) are in Mexico City at our booth at another tradeshow. They have been getting slammed with people. Even infringers are introducing themselves to jeff. Lol

The food has been excellent. The people so warm and kind. In our hotel room the toilet seats were warm. I even had Starbucks close by. But today I was horrified when I entered the bathroom at Shiadome station. The toilet was directly on the floor. I had heard of this but today was my first encounter with the low toilet. Do you know how low you have to squat not to splatter pee? Answer: pretty darn low.

Headed home. We are at the airport. Currently it is 10:42 pm Thursday night in Japan.

Lee, our interpreter and myself at the the Tokyo Franchise Show

On the 2nd leg of our trip. Our 3rd leg being the longest from Los Angeles to Tokyo. Memphis with a stellar night ! Hot damn. Key West coming in 3rd. Hoping Key West starts rolling with spring break starting.
Just received an email from Jackson’s dad. No , ” hope Jackson has a good time.” No ” be careful with Jackson.” Instead His email to me read as follows ” Make sure Jackson does two sets of push ups every day .”
Lol poor kid

After getting my son prepared for his field trip yesterday I made the mistake of asking my crazy friend to meet me for a wine in celebration of the Vegas lease. What a mistake . 3 bottles of wine followed by some green shit in shot glasses. Always seems like a good idea when you are drinking. And of course the ” it’s only wine” excuse doesn’t hold true when you are on your 2nd and 3rd bottle.
Going to force myself to workout. I must pay the piper!
