Professional portraits are AMAZING! 14 months ago

Rachel and I have an amazing photographer (http://www.creativephotodesign.com) and have had wonderful pictures taken throughout Baby Jack’s 1st year.

We are also taking advantage of the small form-factor of today’s digital cameras to make sure we have it with us most of the time.

Save money

Gotta be automatic 21 months ago

We are almost there – as soon as we close on our house (major investment) we will setup payroll deductions to specific investment accounts that will automatically invest in funds we have chosen for dollar/cost averaging. Getting a little better bit by bit.

open a restaurant

Chowbelly 21 months ago

Those of you who know me, know that I love to cook and entertain. Lately I have been fantasizing about owning and running a simple, small restaurant that would be open for Friday and Saturday evening dinners. So many people have told me that being open only 2 nights a week wouldnt be profitable. Honestly I haven’t done the financial projections because there are so many unknowns (local rent, food costs, etc). I think what has inspired me the most has been seeing Gordon Ramsay on Ramsay’s Nightmares – a BBC show where Ramsay takes on a small restaurant and helps them overcome their weaknesses. Most of these restaurants are small – 10 tables or so – and family operated with minimal overhead. After his touch, the restaurants are pulling in $2000 per Friday/Saturday. It seems to me that $16,000USD/month would be a reasonable revenue – not as a full-time income, but as a nice supplement.
