Do you think our cat has learned that lesson? She is very interested in this new office we set up at home and, I believe she is wondering when and if Sam will ever go back to his old routine so she can have me all to herself again.
Sam and I returned last night from Monaco. The Yacht show was all in all fun and interesting. Sam was working the crowd and handing out his new business cards. I was busy getting his clients onboard yachts and catching up with friends. People were quite enthusiastic and encouraging upon hearing the news of Sam's self employment and eager to find work for him. I also learned that many of Sam's former colleagues are having a bit of fun trying to guess how long before I kick Sam out of the house and back to the office. They might laugh and Gucci might be a bit unglued with the changes at home but, I must say... I am enjoying having Sam around. There is always the chance that one day he might rejoin the rat race. For now, I am going to savour the moment and make up for lost time.
A little wink to the Mr. Incaos, I did run into our old friend Diane at the show. She attended the party onboard the 38 meter yacht, Light Blue, built by Sam's former employer. As Chris and Paul Incao know, Diane is the editor at the magazine "Power and Motoryacht" and about 20 years ago we all knew each other. Diane was at the event with her colleagues sipping champagne when I bumped into her. Here is the funny part. Seems our little "story" - that we both dated twins at the same time - has become a legend amongst her colleagues. We all had a great laugh telling the story again to my friends and good talk about Long Island and New York because the Editor in Chief of the magazine, Denis, his wife is also from Long Island. Isn't it a small world we live in? Here we are, in Monaco, talking yachts, and we are all from the same place. Lesson learned. Never burn your bridges. Why? Because you never know when you need good contacts with the press. I made sure to get Diane and her gang together with Sam and his new gang, Yacht Plus. Sam has taken them on as a client. Any press is good press with a new venture!
Sam and I are off for a bike ride to Carasco to have coffee with our friend Maurizio, then grab a bite to eat at an Osteria. After lunch, pick up the kids from school. Life is great, ain't it?
Ciao for now!

Now I really wish I was there for this. Thanks for the wink Krista. We truly live in a small world. Last week I went out on a date with a girl in Philadelphia who has a cousin I went to elementary school with back on Long Island. We ended up calling her cousin from the date and I spoke with her for the first time in 23 years.
As for Sam, I wish you the best of luck with the new business endeavor. I know you will be successful in anything you do. As for your wife... you have been blessed and I am extremely happy for the two of you.
