As Valentine’s Day’s go, yesterday was a plus I suppose….dinner was much better than the previous evenings Mustard Frenzy…I switched from Red to White to accommodate the too small Lobster Tails and Shrimp..I think it was the smoked Paprika that really made the difference…but great it was….

I have to be in Hugo at 9:00…some coffee shop to meet three guys that are starting a drywall business….I’ve been asking my son the Banker for referrals and he finally came through for me…..then off to one of my larger renewals in Osseo….”Serious Guy” handles the renewal work for this one..and has at least a dozen questions…His real strength is his attention to detail….so details I’ll get for the file and for him.

I made my appointments for as many of my clients and prospects as I could yesterday…including an interview with a Producer Candidate…then travel plans for a month end trip to a Seminar at one of our newer carriers in Appleton, Wisconsin.. I decided to fly….that 7 hour drive each way just gets a little long…

We gave the ladies in the office chocolates yesterday purchased from one of my most hmmmmmmm what’s the word…..shall I say “interesting” clients.. she owns a shop that sells flower’s, candy and ice cream…..I visit her store once or twice a year…and as I approached the sign on the door said…”NEW… Classes to help you get in touch with your Angels”….oh oh…it’s gettin spooky…. so after I paid for the roses, she mentioned that the Angels told her the roses would last four weeks…. naturally, I asked her to the giggles of a patron, who do I see you or the angels for my money back if they die sooner?..she didn’t smile..

Well, another busy day…and I have to be out of here by 6:30….I’ll probably get to Hugo by 8:00..that’ll give me an hour to kill…but I hate being late for appointments…then to my 11:00 am…then to see my very ill Aunt..then back to the office to congratulate “Sensitive Guy”… he’s going to be a daddy and just found out it’ll be a son…..
