What's your morning beverage of choice?  Coffee, tea, juice?  Homemade or store-bought?

The best homemade coffee in the world! My wife usually sets up the automatic brew the night before, set to go off in time for her to have a cup when she gets up to drop my daughter off at her school carpool.

But still good enough to drink when I stumble downstairs an hour or so later!

Who is ringing in the New Year with you?  Who do you wish could be with you, but isn't there?

Turns out, it's just my wife, my boys, and I.

I've been thinking about this all day...not a single invite from anyone to spend New Years with them. Not family, not friends, no one. Bummer.

Here I am 42 years old, a friendly guy with an even friendlier wife, and yet we spend most evenings (aside from business building activities) cocooning. Not by my choice.

So, my main New Year's Resolution: develop a much larger business team and, from that team, a large group of socially-minded friends!

What is the best present you have ever given?

Submitted by quornflour.

By far the best present I've ever given were Ribbon Gift Album vacation albums, one to my parents and one to my wife's parents. They were blown away at the opportunity to pick their own vacation destination! The vacation albums aren't available any more, but the rest of the gift album collection is.

These gift albums make perfect gifts when you just don't know what to give, and cash or a gift card seems too impersonal (they always are!).

You shop for the albums either by dollar amount or you can choose a specialty album, such as the Delicious album, which offers food and cookware to the recipient!

Do you really think anyone is going to answer this question truthfully? :)

How do you handle phone calls from telemarketers?

I politely let them finish, and then say NO as emphaticlly as possible a few times, and finally say "have a great day" and hang up. They don't care and would rather get on to the next call anyway.

I would LIKE to use the Seinfeld approach, but haven't tried that yet.
