Who’s on top?

OK. I wasn’t happy about the 5-3 loss to the USA this week. Helpfully my business partner is an American and he emailed me at 02:30 or so to let me know of the score. Thankfully my phone was on silent, but it was one of the first things I saw when I woke up. Not pleasant.

To feel better, I thought I would include a wonderful article on how great Canadian banks are compared to their American (and British) cousins.

It’s been a day.

A good day, to be fair, but an  exhausting one.

Up early for the morning meeting (meetings should all start at 06:45, right?) and then a meeting with Mr Fraser with a potential new Franchise. We’re really kicking off on the Franchise front, which reminds me – have taken a table of 10 at the Scottish Franchise Breakfast, must fill places!

Andy and I left the office just before 19:00 tonight, and we headed out to have dinner together. We haven’t had much of an opportunity to do that lately, and it was great to be out as mates for an evening. There are times when the business takes over so much, we don’t really have as much time to be, well, mates.

Business is feeling good. I feel strong right now, like I’m starting to flex my (proverbial) muscles.

It’s been a long fight. A hard fight. And I’m really tired.

(but I still want to win)

bon huit!
