CEO Blog

We are having a lovely rain day today. The gardens need it.

The garden is awesome right now. Fresh tomatoes, string beans, zucchini, lima beans, carrots, beets, onions, leeks, pumpkin and of course most herbs (basil, chives, parsley, thyme, rosemary etc).

As most of you know, this was a big week. The Dow dropped by almost 600 points.

Just personal today. My daughter Beth and son-in-law Chris had a baby boy this morning. 8 weeks ahead of schedule (thinking he should go into the software business - he would be unique). 1.5 Kg (4 pounds, 4 oz.). Mom and Josh are healthy and all is well.
