One of the wives (middle) of the ridiculously popular reality show, Duck Dynasty, launched her line with a fashion show that actually brought a fair amount of people out from their snow bunkers and to the show. Because of this, we had one of our better first days ever. The fact that we’re also producing the Duck Dynasty wife’s line is icing on the cake.

We’ve been on the runway for an hour and forty five minutes now. If it wasn’t for these pod seats, I would’ve probably lost it by now.

Rare ice, snow storm paralyzes Atlanta. In other news, we’re off to Atlanta. It’s our most important show of the year, so I’m not worried at all.

#60: Take a class

For once, Sonia was out of her element buying shoes.

Watched my nephew dominate at his flag football game today. He only got to touch the ball three times because he scores every time. That boy is fast. And my niece cheered him on with some great moves.

Wow, I like two Woody Allen movies in the last five years.

49: Complete 10 nagging home repairs

It took nearly a year and a half, but I finally found the right washers to reattach the shower door.

My dogs are fast asleep after a full day of play at my dad’s.

They still have it. Great show at the new Forum.

#60: Take a Class

Just finished our second true Argentinean tango lesson. Still working with two left feet.

#100: Find a regular barber

After nearly a decade of frequenting cut rate, supercutesque “hair stylists”, I have finally began my quest to find a regular barber. Baxter and Finley might be it. I got a cut & shave and as much as I want to love a straight razor shave, it just hurts too damn much. With that said, this place may just become my regular barber. I’ll give a couple of other places a shot before deciding.

Hemingway is campaigning for a pool day on Saturday.

#5: Prepare 12 Meals at Home

Over the top goodness. Great performance by Leo.

#17: Attend a LA Magazine Calendar event once a month

Checked out the National Geographic Photograph Exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography.

Old school lunch at the Apple Pan. #7 is going to take awhile with weekends like this.

#98: Eat at Providence

Truffle season.

#6:Eat at Hakkasan

Took clients to Hakkasan in Beverly Hills. Enjoyed.

#96 Maximize Credit Card Rewards

Replaced three horrible Visa’s with their Black Card that will provide some better rewards.

Business may have been down a bit in 2013, but we did our best not to let it slow us down. Here’s a quick look back.

We started the year off with a bang in Rome, Italy.

We went to Vegas a lot. And ended the year at the craps table in the black.

We toured a few out of state colleges, but Brittany realized she was a California girl.

So she signed a letter of intent to play at UC Riverside.

Bought my childhood dream truck.

Ate a lot of great meals and met some superstar chefs.

Most of those meals weren’t as fancy, but just as good.

Marquette Basketball had a great run and made it to the Elite 8 in the NCAAs.

Turned 40 and hurt my Dad’s feelings when I returned these shoes.

Celebrated my birthday in Key West…

…And toured Hemingway’s home.

Business continued to drag, but…

Sushi and oysters eased the pain.

And lounging by the pool didn’t cost a thing.

Brittany graduated from High School.

Sonia and I celebrated by heading off to the Serengeti.

It may have been the trip of a lifetime. I hope to have plenty of opportunities to find out.

We found some great pools, but…

The best one allowed dogs.

Saw Mumford and Sons in Montreal.

Business and pleasure in Nashville.

We Frolicked in the vineyards of Napa.

And shared a great dinner at The French Laundry with my Mom and Jim.

Saw Kings of Leon in Las Vegas.

More business and pleasure in Sea Side, Florida.

Rushed back to California to see Brittany start the Big West Championship game.

And then adopted this little terrorist to make our lives a little more challenging.

We drove up the coast to Big Sur. A true hidden gem.

We slowed down during the holidays to enjoy time with family.

And then took off for Puerto Rico for a family vacation.

Together we rang in the new year with hopes that 2014 will be just as kind.

Normally I’d complain about the traffic into Hollywood, but it’s 82 degrees.

One more good meal for Brittany at Cecconi’s before heading back to UC Riverside.

#57: See 10 Movies in the Theater.

Fell one movie short in 2013. Started 2014 early with American Hustle. It won’t be a classic, but it was better than most over the last year.

#1: Ring in the New Year. Always the easiest one.
