In addition, I believe in the U.S. Constitution, and that it's content is timeless. That being said, I am deeply concerned with the direction that our country is headed.

I was with a new client on Friday afternoon when I noticed a group of people entering our spy shop showroom. (I have a one-way mirror that allows me to see the showroom from my office). Leventhal ... http://www.rochesterspyshop.com/blog/?p=111 I think it was three years ago when my wife and I visited Napa Valley for a mini-vacation. We love the wine country and it's products.

With my wife out of town with our 15 year old, and the other two step children with their "real dad", I have been making several trips to the homestead to check on our pets and the contractor working on our backyard deck.
