Let Them Eat Turkey

I have no desire to crow over anybody or to see anybody eating crow, figuratively or otherwise. We should all get together and make a country in which everybody can eat turkey whenever he pleases.

- Harry S. Truman

Have a Great Thanksgiving from your friends at Optimum!

OC Blood Drive

Pardon me if my typing is imperfect here. I promise to use spell check and go through this before I click that "publish post" button below the entry box here.

My typing may be imperfect because I am proudly wearing a blue and white band-aid over my middle finger at the moment. This band-aid was part of the donation process today. One tiny little pinprick to test my iron and next thing you know I'm sentenced to the chair.

The blood donation chair that is.

This is of course a voluntary sentence. I've been giving blood since high school. My first time a disturbingly enthusiastic political science teacher prompted all of us to give.

A big congratulations to all who participated in today’s blood drive! You can tell which ones we are, we have the courage, we have the stickers, we have the snacks, and we have the yellow iodine stains on our arms to prove it.

Today Optimum Companies employees and friends were able to donate 13 units which will give people plenty to be thankful for during the holidays.

If you don't know how much giving blood matters, you might want to see this video:



If you are interested in giving blood you might want to check out www.givelife.org, where you can make an appointment.

Oh how fun!!!!

Well citizens, its that time again.
Time for the annual battle between our own Ohio State Buckeyes & The Team Up North.
I have respect for our evil neighbors in that mitten shaped state, so I don't like to talk a lot of crap, cuz crap tastes bad if things don't go my way.
I know this as fact. :)

I will leave it @ this.
I want the conservative sweater-vest wearing Jim Tressel to be asked the same question Wayne Woodrow Hayes was asked in 1968, 40 years ago.
And I want him to respond exactly the same.
While winning 48-14, Woody instructed the Buckeyes to go for a 2pt conversion (which we converted) after scoring a late touchdown. When asked by reporters in the post-game interview why he went for two despite a 34 point lead, Hayes narrowed his field of focus & testified...
"BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GO FOR THREE!!!"
I would love for Tressel to get the opportunity to re-visit a classic statement like that.


RIP Woody & Bo... & GO BUCKS!!!
And now a photo documentation of what to expect @ noon tomorrow.

THE BIG GAME

Being one of the largest Buckeye Fans at Optimum Companies I am know for spreading Buckeye cheer everywhere I go through the building. Here are just a few of my Buckeye collectibles enjoy them as we get ready for the big game. Even our daily postman have a Buckeye bond.

Quotes of the Day from Charles Schwab

A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.
Charles Schwab

I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among men the greatest asset I possess. The way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement.
Charles Schwab

I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.
Charles Schwab
