There has been a song rolling around in my head the past couple of weeks...and I don't know why. Maybe it's the change of the seasons, maybe it's the turning of my mountain bike's wheels, or maybe it's our president's urging that we "become the change". I don't know, but it's "turning" into one of those "close encounter of the third kind" things.
In any case, I thought I would share a little with you. Some remember it from the book of Ecclesiastes. Those folks contend that it was King Solomon's first #1 hit. Most of us remember it as a 1960's hit from the Byrds and I've paraphrased it a bit below:
Turn, Turn, Turn
To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season. Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, A time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to laugh, a time to weep
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late.
Now that everyone has gotten their inner Pete Seeger on, maybe it's also a time to give thanks. And that's what I'm going to do as we enter this Thanksgiving & Holiday Season. I would like to thank all of my employees, subs, material suppliers and especially our clients for all of their friendship and support through the years, good times and bad. I wish you all the profound sense of pride and joy (& relief) that comes from accomplishing your goals.
Cash For Clunker Kitchen postmortem:
("a time to die...")
Dearly beloved -- we are gathered here today to pay our final respects to a true clunker of an idea. It seems that no one was too motivated by our $4,500 Cash Back for turning in "that old dilapidated kitchen" idea. However, if you're still considering a kitchen remodel in the near future, give us a call. As the song says, "...I swear it's not too late!"
