Last night was a great day for the ESM Family. Our CEO of Elite Soccer and Board Member of ESM, Simon Sheppard got married to long-time girlfriend Traci Bray.

It was an amazing evening filled with friends and family, all in the Sheppard's new backyard. It was really special to be a part of the evening, and Jessaca and I felt really honored to be there.

ESM Board member Ken Prager was in the house too, as well as Paolo Carbone who made the journey up from Santa Cruz.

Simon and Traci, we wish you all the happiness in the world.

I need to blog to stay healthy

I haven't blogged in 10 days. I feel sluggish and have had a cold. My brain is overloading with stuff regarding business, and I haven't had time to download it on to the blog (which is like my release)...

Is blogging another way to help a healthy body, mind and soul?

More to come...this weekend.

Great posting on business travel

I found this fascinating quote today:

On June 17th, I left my office, got on the A train, and headed to JFK to grab a flight to SFO. Since that day almost two months ago, I have spent six nights in my home in NYC. And it’s not over yet. Between now and labor day, I think I’ll spend another six nights in my home in NYC.A VC, Aug 2008

There is a new face in the midtown community -- yogurtagogo opened up across the streets from the lofts on L Street. Awesome yogurt with a ton of fresh fruit and toppings. A great way to cool down in the hot sacramento summer.

Probably one of the best videos I have seen...
