Breaking New Ground


















Yesterday was the official Ground-Breaking Ceremony for the Cuhaci & Peterson Corporate Office in Baldwin Park. It's about time! We were originally supposed to be moved in to the office by the end of the calendar year. They're still saying we'll be in in 6 months, but I'm placing bets that it will be more like 8. I doubt we'll be in before the 4th of July, but we'll see.

I'm not much of a gambler. The first time I stepped foot in a casino (in Detroit), I placed a dollar in the slot machine (given to me by my Mom) and won 3! I quit while I was ahead, and treated to People Mover tokens. But I somehow got suckered into a wager on this weekend's UM/OSU game. It's not for money (because that's just crazy and I don't have any), but rather for dinner. If Daryl wins (OSU) we eat at Brio, but if I win (UM) we eat at Ruth's Chris. Anyone who actually knows me, knows that I'm not a huge sports fan, but I like to root for MY teams (other than that, I could care less). And basically, MY teams are any team from Michigan/Detroit. I have no allegiance to either UM or MSU. I have been spotted at a local bar on Sunday afternoons to watch the Packer games because some of my best friends are big fans, and I want to hang out with my friends. I will cheer for them as long as they're playing anyone BUT Detroit (then the gloves come off). But it's all in fun. I never invest too much into the games, because after all, it IS just a game.

Grandma used to say that sports is a god in this country.

Even if it is food and not money, sounds like an expensive dinner you will be paying for at Brio
