A quick re-cap and I'm back!

Dear readers,

It's been quite some time since last I wrote and for that you have my most humble apologies. Rather than give you a detailed update of everything that's been going on since my last post on April 16th, I'm just going to give you a few broad highlights in my personal and professional life now that will be discussed later in relevant business related topics:

-Ariana and I picked a wedding date: February 19th

-We're remodeling our house (yes, while planning a wedding!)

-I created a mutually beneficial and potentially very profitable partnership between the keiretsu Forum and the 15 Next Generation wineries, including Peju.

-Butter is now working with wine.woot to create a partnership with many of our local clients and things are moving as smooth as butter.

-I have completed all of my courses and  have an MBA!

-Paw Pets are on sale in Canada and we are working on our biggest sale ever and trying to order enough inventory for the Backer show in October because we are dropping our prices, releasing new toys and sales are going to go crazy!

I've learned a lot creating these partnerships, at Yappy Hours, on business trips and in school and look forward to sharing my experiences with you so that you can learn from them too. I hope that you will comment on my upcoming blogs and agree with me or challenge me or share your own experiences so that we can gain from them as well.

The next blog will not be up for a week or two because I"ve got some traveling to do but the title will be: Should you get an MBA?

Thanks for reading!
Ian
