that's a bold statement

I’ll say it: the Orlando Magic are the best team in the NBA right now, and they are the best Orlando Magic team since the 1994-1995 team led by Shaq and Penny that took us to the Finals. Tonight’s dominating win over Seattle and Monday’s gritty victory over Utah have firmly cemented this in my mind.

Tonight was my first baby-sitting assignment with Kai. Erin had to fulfill a volunteering obligation for Isaac’s basketball team, so I stayed home with Kai for a few hours. I gave him a bath, we sang songs, and I tickled him silly. He was literally howling with laughter. He loves it when we gum-chew his belly region making loud chewing noises — he smiles and laughs so loudly when we do that. So of course, I do it a lot. He fussed for a few minutes, but I managed to get him to fall asleep and take a three-hour nap. He woke up to eat, and has been out ever since. It was an awesome experience.

In other news, I have begun work in earnest on writing the business plan for our wine bar. Erin and I both share a passion for wine that is simply too great to ignore. I believe we have a solid idea, that once translated onto paper in a business plan, will provide us with the foundation to build a business that will allow us to make a good living doing something we love. I am accepting suggestions for names for a wine bar — if we use your suggestion you will get a rather nice bar tab at our business upon its opening.

Money has been quite scarce around here the last few weeks. I had two weekends off this month, one for Isaac’s Landmark Forum and another for Thanksgiving. And yet I really feel that Erin and I are about to make the turn to financial abundance soon. Once I’m finished crafting our rock-solid business plan, I’m confident that I can find investors to back us and then we’re off to the races. It’s going to be a lot of work, and we’ll enjoy every minute of it. We really feel that we can create a business that stands apart from the competition, and will grow for years to come. Compared to child-rearing, how hard can it be? :)
