Spent a lovely week prior to Christmas resting in the sun, sand and surf at The Ritz Carlton Resort in St Thomas (beach picture attached). Weather was sunny and mid-eighties all week. Nice breeze blowing all of the time. Sprinkled a few times, mostly at night, but by and large it was perfect steady 85 degrees every day. I can highly recommend the resort to anyone planning a trip to St Thomas. Staff was excellent, facilities were great and a lot of water sports supported right on site. It is located on a protected bay at the east end of the island, not real easy to drive to, but a lovely area. Got a chance to read 2 books while there, the “Outlier’s” by Malcolm Caldwell and “Too Big to Fail” by Andrew Ross Sorkin. “Outliers” is an interesting thesis about the roots of successful people and institutions, anyone would likely enjoy it. While “Too Big to Fail” probably won’t win any Oprah book awards, you have to be interested in the world of Wall Street to wade through those 624 pages.
Our flooring business continues to go gang busters, working 6 days a week, one month after the other of record shipments. Not sure how long it can last, but things look sound through the spring for sure. Looking forward to spring, so far some strategic AWD car maneuvers have allowed me to skid up the driveway without a single snow blower session this season. Warmed up overnight so all the snow is now gone, totally vindicating my strategy. I am shooting for one entire winter without a single snow blowing session. If I wasn’t so cheap and would hire it done, but where is the challenge in that??!! Wish me luck.
That is about all the news fit to print from the English household.
