Am going to pull the trigger on season tickets this year I think.

I am leaving Kellogg's. I like the company and the job very much, but they are relocating my office to Chicago and eliminating a number of positions. Mine was one of the positions eliminated, so I had the option of either moving to Charlotte or Tampa with Kellogg's, or looking outside the company and possibly being able to bank 3 mos of severance pay.

I applied for, and was offered, what I feel was a great job at Ocean Spray Cranberries working on the Kroger team. I will be managing the Consumer Insights and Category Managment functions on the Kroger team. I've never been so happy to get "laid off"!

That's good that Kaitlin has avoided both the Swine Flu and the Rugby house. She should try to stay away from both for the remainder of College.

I will look forward to talking to you soon.

Love to catch up w/ you again. You still w/ the same company or did a career change predicate this move? Daughter (Kaitlin) is officially at X now. Brockman. Classes going well (so far) and she's avoided "the swine" (H1N1). Have told her no drinking during the week and definitely to avoid the rugby house ;)
You pull the trigger on season tix yet?

That is great. Congrats to Kaitlin. X has a good nursing program.

I am on the fence about season tickets. I will probably at least get a ticket pack. With having classes 2 nights a week it conflicts with games sometimes. I also don't know how long I am going to be able to stay in Cincinnati before getting transferred for work.

I am definitely going to go to some games and I will definitely stop over and say 'Hi' when I do.

I know that I don't even have to ask if you are renewing your seats...

Still trucking along. Losses are stabilizing and hopefully will be going down soon. We had a 5% temporary pay reduction start a couple of months ago which will probably be in effect until the end of the year. Since we've "passed" the stress test we expect to turn the corner. The latest change is we are limiting discounts on invoices which is causing the dealers to white out the discounts. We are busting their a$$es on that and charging them a fee of $600 for the first infraction and inactivating them if it happens again. We're keeping busy though, application volume is about 20% higher than last year, but fundings are down.
Are you getting season tickets next year?
Kaitlin (my eldest) WILL be a Musketeer next year! She has enrolled and will be starting the nursing program.
