Raley Comes Home

Yes it is true we got a Puppy. He is a Gordon Setter. Gordons are a fantastic breed. We named him Raley, after the kiteboarding move. He is smart, fun loving and very playful. We got him because we were on a plane flight and met another Gordon Setter who is a search and rescue dog. Here is a picture, but check out the photo album for more

SafeGuard Child Seat

As many of you know I am on the board of IMMI. Trish and I helped them launch the Safeguard Child Seat which is the most advanced protection money can buy. We launched it at DEMO www.demo.com and here is what USA Today had to say Car Seat Stands Out Among New High-Tech Gear
