The big day was actually yesterday but I'm celebrating today at my parents' place in the Poconos.

Nick Meyer, a friend of mine on MySpace, sent me best wishes. Thanks, Nick.

Nick plays guitar, mandolin, violin, accordion, harmonica, xylophone, trumpet, trombone, drums, percussion, but as he's told me before not necessary in the way they were intended to be played.

Check out some of the songs on his site (my favorite is "Put Away Demo"), and he is also involved in Blind Pigeon Records, Cumbola, PA.

I have no idea exactly what that is but sounds like a bootstrap operation to me.

Nick is also a former co-worker of mine from my days at the Republican & Herald newspaper in Schuylkill County, PA, where Nick still serves as photo editor.

Watch for the opportunity to join our new groups on MySpace and Yuwie coming soon to help you bootstrap your new business in 2008.
