Reno - Lake Tahoe














5 day, 4 night vacation to Reno and Lake Tahoe hit the spot. A big thanks to Kyle parents for such a fun Christmas gift! And contrary to unwarranted concerns our business didn't suffer when we were away. Is that the sign of a good boss or a bad one?
















Reno was good to us. Kyle is notorious for losing at casinos, but not this time! Craps, roulette, betting on sports; it didn't matter. Of course eventually our luck ran out and we were excited if we simply won money on a penny slot. We also learned that the Double Diamond slot machine is the only one worth playing. We even turned Kevin into a slot player and that's no small task.















Unfortunately we didn't have nice weather at Lake Tahoe. It was 30 degrees with light snow and rain. Because of the poor visibility we didn't get to do all the tourist activities like riding the gondola or taking the boat tour around the lake.

We want to give a special thanks to Kyle's cousin, Geoff, for being our tour guide while in town. He and Toby were the best!

Another Year Older




Bo Kitty: about 3 months old





B0 Kitty: 5 years old








We don't really know Bo's birthday so when Becky adopted the stray cat in the summer of 2002 she picked April 1st. April Fools Day, why not?

In honor of Bo's 5th Birthday check out Bo Kitty's Top 5 List below:

5. Nina. If Bo was Batman then Nina girl would be his Robin....but Robin would have to be a girl.

4. Laptops. Yes, Bo Kitty loves laptops. Loves to walk on them. Loves to rub his face on them. Loves to lay on them making it impossible to type bqlh3flkw9uajp#aslkpgaawlkm

3. Toy mice in the bathtub. Enough said.

2. Treats. Whisker Lickins or Pounce....must be the soft chew kind or he won't eat it. High maintenance little sh*#.

1. OUTSIDE!! Only thing better would be outside unsupervised (but don't tell him).

Happy Birthday Indiana All-Star Driving





It's official, Indiana All-Star Driving is now 4 years old. The company was incorporated in February 2003 and is still going strong. We now have 9 locations (2 in Evansville, Newburgh, Jasper, Ferdinand, Washington, Noblesville, Lafayette and Castleton) and have contracts with several Indiana high schools to run programs on location. We also have anywhere from 45-65 employees (depending on the time of year) and insure a fleet of 21 vehicles. It's been almost a year since Becky quit her advertising career and began her coup d'etat to take over the family business. In the last couple of weeks she was promoted to CFO in addition to her duties as the office manager of Castleton. Yes, Becky is now in charge of all the finances at home AND at work! God help us all.

Welcome!

Welcome to the inaugural launch of what is sure to be the most intrinsically entertaining blog started in '07. We wanted a place to update our friends and family on all the latest news without actually having to talk to them. So Voila, we started a website.
For our first post we want to thank everyone for making Super Bowl XLI, also the 4th Annual Meek Superbowl Pary, so memorable. Not only did the Colts go to the Super Bowl, but they ended a very long two weeks victorious. We couldn't be more excited, especially the parts of the weekend we remembered. Thank you to everyone who made it over making the evening such a tremendous success. We did miss most of you on Monday for the clean up party, but we understand. We loved having so many Colts fans, and that one Bears fan (you know who you are), participating in the festivities. We hope to see everyone back next year regardless if the Colts make it to the Super Bowl or not.
