You really should go there!

On April 2, 2009, I celebrated an anniversary with my wife of 14 years.  We took the time to go out and eat dinner together at a place we had never heard of.  This place was in Boykin, SC and was called The Mill Pond Steakhouse.  Here’s my review.

Their slogan is:  “Where the only thing better than our view is our food!”,  Here was our view:

and here’s the food:

 

Bottom line: I dropped over a $100 for this food but without a doubt, the best steak I’ve ever put in my mouth and Terri agreed.

The view was awesome.  But best of all was the company! 

Good luck finding it but if you do, it’s worth it!

A big shout out to our friends Billy and Cathy Rolfe for the recommendation!

Don’t blame me…

I’m just sharing a video.

I hope I can do this at age 89!

Fran and Marlo Cowan have been married for 62 years. Marlo is 89-years-old in this video. And both found themselves at the Mayo Clinic.

There happens to be a piano in the clinic’s atrium, and the Cowans decided to play.

There is more cheer and energy in this couple than many 20-year-olds. And they fill a hospital with laughter and smiles.\

The Law of the Garbage Truck

A friend, Jeff, shared this with me the other day….

“One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And, I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of

disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so... Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.  Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!“

Apparently David Pollay has written a book about his story.

 

How’s your vision?

Do you have a plan?  know where you’re heading?  Let me introduce Jonathan.  

Jonathan works with us at ACS and he’s a player on the local arena football team, the Florence Phantoms.  He told Pattie White, one of our executives this story the other day. These are the words of Pattie:

“He told me how his coach talked with them about setting their eyes on winning the championship.  And his coach coaches on life – not just where you’re headed in the next 20 minutes but the next 20  years.  Jonathan said it’s pretty powerful stuff.  The Phantoms were the 2008 AIFA Champions.  BTW, Jonathan’s set his sights on ACS and a job in marketing as his next stop.”  

I’m betting he gets that job in marketing soon.

So I ask you again, do you know where you’re going?  do you have a plan?  If not, seek out Jonathan, I bet he can help you!
