I've been very busy lately with work and family related stuff. I used to be good at acknowledging lots of things with the occasional note or gift. As I've gotten busy, I've dropped the ball on lots of stuff -- not least of which is some thank you notes and acknowledgement gifts. So, here's my list of stuff I've forgotten -- it's not meant to be comprehensive:
- Jay Haynes - wedding gift and baby gift. I wanted to get you guys a nice dinner with or without me. At this point, it better be without me.
- Michael Oiknine - baby #4 gift. You set the standard of a loving relationship and adding a 4th child. OMG. Harvard baby clothes might be in order.
- My daughter - for getting into Lakeside. Gotta get a t-shirt from the school....or at least an itunes gift card.
- Mitch Brandow - baby #1 gift. Flowers for your wife, a bottle of wine or a kid insurance product might appropriate.
- Schoeny -- for making a wise job choice. A bag of Fortune cookies seems appropriate.
- Greg Gottesman - I owe you a thank you note
- Erik Benson & Randall Lucas -- I know you're fans of wine but I don't know the first thing about it. I've been embarrassed to show my ignorance. Belated christmas/ Hanukkah and appreciation gifts.
- Geoff Entress -- Some theo chocolates because I think you're a sweet guy -- and I love doing deals with you.
- Brother Steve -- your birthday is in two days. I'll likely forget. Happy bday. Happy 40th bday to Christine too.
- I'm realizing this list could go on and on....and probably should. Lesson learned. I need to get better at sending these gifts real time.
