I wrote this thinking about our new President  but it occurs to me that can apply to my life and the life our business as well (or maybe it that just gives me a flimsy excuse to publish it)

Renewal.
Next to Love the word most powerful
Is the word of promise, trust and hope..
A word of singular simplicity
For multiple dreams.

Renewal.

Our unique history built
upon the notion that we can restore our
resolve, our faith and our selves
over and over without question, without end

Renewal.
Sings it’s own meaning
In numberless hearts hungry for change
In those old enough to remember
And those young enough to care

Renewal.
For those who are broken
And those who feel alone
It is the promise of our purpose
And the engine of our repair

Renewal.
The spark of our greatness
The hope for our future
The cure for our fears
The method of our dreams.

God bless our new President. May his vision of American renewal serve us all, every day, one day at a time.

Ok, I admit it. When we first talked about creating a company blog, we were thinking about  the potential for marketing exposure. Well, to hell with that.  Writing sales copy has almost no appeal to me personally and I suspect reading it would have even less appeal to you. So we talked it over and we decided to write about our little enterprise differently than most companies with their thinly disguised press release update fluff masquerading as fascinating blog copy. We decided instead to write an honest, running commentary of our business: the good times; the ugly times, even the impossibly boring times and we figured this would serve two purposes: 1. Give our customers a sense of who we are, how we operate and why we care and 2) Create a new way for us to communicate with our customers and amongst ourselves with the supposition that more communication will ultimately lead to fewer mistakes, more efficiency and, well, a better time for everyone. So if you’ve read this far, you might be asking yourself what lunatic would open a Pandora’s box of possible public embarrassment by starting an open blog like this and the answer is me, Chris Tobey, one of the owners of HotTubWorks. But the real question is how could my 2 business partners let me run with this disaster-waiting-to-happen in the first place?
Well, fortunately for me , they are as crazy as I am.
All for now
Onward and Upward,
