Winter 2009-2010

We had a good winter in California but we're getting ready to have a little vacation in Thailand, again.

We spent most of the winter fixing heating systems although it really wasn't very cold this year.

Here is one of the dirtiest filters I have ever seen.

December was a mild month for Southern California so that gave us time to spend with Mom.

Daeng also enjoyed cooking over the holidays with my sister, Diane.

We had a nice Christmas although most of us just got rocks as presents.

Santa told me coal was to expensive for us.

We enjoyed getting together with some of our friends over a cup of coffee and a "Yum-Yum" donut.

Daeng had fun with Christmas. She played Santa's helper most of the season.

We also got some pictures of the kids at Christmas in Mae Sai, Thailand.

We'll be glad to see them, again.

In January we visited "Medieval Times" for a medieval feast and some entertainment.

Our friends Robin & Carol joined us.

I was thinking about buying a new dress to exchange with my pink one. How do I look in this color?

To see me in my pink dress just "CLICK HERE".

Daeng & I went to see Disney's "Holiday on Ice" at the Honda Center.

We recommend that show to all the kids under 70 years old.

We helped Courtney Ca get the "Comedy in Recovery" show up and running again at "Club Changes" in Anaheim.

It is a free show where comedians come to try out new routines and jokes. If you would like more information CLICK HERE!

It really is a fun place and you never know who will come by or what will happen.

Thailand is a warm, no hot, climate. That means NO SNOW.

To show Daeng what snow was about we took a little trip to Big Bear so she could touch the cold, white stuff. We had fun!

Another tip to help the economy: "BUY AMERICAN"!

Remember to always have fun because if you don't you probably won't stick around very long.

We will write more when we get to the "Land of Smiles"!

Love always,

Terry & Daeng

04-17-09 Choosing a Company Name

As an business man, I have been involved with the naming of a few companies. I believe that a name should try to help the people dealing with it know what the company does. Example: DIAL ONE Cooling, Heating & Plumbing, Inc. tells the customer that this company does work in three areas, cooling, heating and plumbing.

Many folks like to use their own names in the company name. Example: Jim Jones Plastering Company.

There are a few names I would not recommend. Frank Uto, the plumber, should not name his company "F. Uto Plumbing". Jim Butram, the plumber, should not use the company name of "Butram Plumbing".

Here is a water company that I came across in Thailand,

"YELLOW SURPRISE Water Company".

Great name! Maybe a better name would have been: YELLOW SNOW Spring Water".

What do you think?
