So Will Figured me out....I never read magazines I only look at the pictures!!

So JK's Update:

All is well in Kreter land. I have been moved a few times at work since I last talked to you all. I spent 3 weeks (shortest stint so far) working on two brands: Toy Story & Marvel Superhero Squad and now have ended up in the Lucas group. Cannot say exactly what I am working on now but it is one of their crown jewels staring Han Solo...and no it is not Star Wars... I am also managing two collectors lines, Titanium - Our Answer to Star Wars Matchbox and a brand that will launch in 2008 which is our answer to Urban vynal. All around pretty good stuff to be working on.

We have also or will be on Friday, concluding our most recent home renovation.. the kitchen. The project has taken about a month and a half and let me tell you a month with no kitchen sink and no 1st floor bathroom is a long time....The house is a total sty, but hey that is what Memorial Day weekends are for!! Check out the pictures (click the title and it will link you there). I have not loaded ones with the finished floors, but you can see the extent of the project. Two projects down (basement & kitchen) one to go (bathroom).

Other than that 80 degree weather is returning to RI which means fun in the sun. Beaching and boating are on the docket.

Update...sort of.

Okay, just to prove I'm not a liar. Here is a post. And I will add more than just a fancy picture (like SOME people).

I'm enjoying the beautiful Spring weather in NYC and continue to plug away at work. I haven't read anything good in ages (I've read a few things, but nothing good since "The Road".) I haven't seen any movies I'd recommend (although Children of Men was okay).

Maren is done with year one and will begin her internship in a few weeks and will soon be very busy overseeing financial models and offering memoranda or whatever people in that business do for the 80-100 hours a week they're in the office.

Because we're not going to get to take a 10+ day trip this year, we are flying to Jamaica in a few days for a quick getaway. (We have a wedding in Florida this weekend and then will be flying out Sunday, back in NYC on Thurs.)

My REAL update will be pictures from this trip. Stay tuned.

Oh...and here is a picture. MMA on the cover of Sports Illustrated. A fringe sport goes mainstream. Are you for or against or neutral? Discuss amongst yourselves.....?
