Hola. I thought for sure Kevin would hop online to spread the good news of his latest professional accomplishment, but I guess not... so I'll do it on his behalf.

Today he starts his first day as assistant manager of a new Enterprise branch in the heart of downtown Philly. This is a promotion and a location change for him, so he has quite a few things to adjust to. From what I understand, he's now in charge of running the business aspect of this branch, which hopefully won't stress him out or make him too crazy. I asked him if he can fire people at will, to which he replied "sadly, no," so I believe he still needs more power.... kidding! But in all seriousness, it sounds like a stressful gig and he's really going to put his business skills to the test.

Anyway, wish him good luck on his first day... and for continued success. I know he'll like working at this branch much better than his old one (which was about a 30 minute commute, not tooooo terrible, but not awesome) and now he's just 4 miles or so from home. Plus, he's in the center of Philly's cultural hub - how bad can that be?

Okay, I think I'm done bragging. Off to work... (and I hope you're all well, too).

Face Book vs. MySpace

Ok, so Sara and I have yet to get caught up in all the facebook/myspace hype, but I may be breaking down and finally joining the crowd. I've heard it's a great way to re-connect with people and meet new people (I can always use more people to solicit insurance and investments to!).

What I need from all of you:
Which one is better???

I know some of you are on both, so your opinion counts a little more. For those of you on only one of the two...Why did you pick the one you picked?

Thank you all in advance for your help.

About that Picture

OK come on.. I am totally seeing some Bias here.

The Hennessey Family "places where we live" picture is totally unfair.


Just take a look at what you got up there:

St.Louis:- The Pinnacle of St. Louis ideology and architectural ingeniousness. Damn, that looks hot!

Louisville- Horse racing. The True Gentleman's Sport. Pure Elegance.

Texas (-in general) - A powerful and catchy phrase. Something to this day that still even strikes awe and fear into "W'. Serenity, even now.

Philadelphia- Shotty craftsmanship from 150 years ago. : /

The Internet Craze and Sarah's (with an H) B-Day

Hello from Philly.

Really, I'm just testing this function out... as I have never been much of a blogger.

So ... in essence, this will be my inaugural Post.

So today, January 12, 2008, Sarah Celebrated her 25th birthday (woot!) And seeing as I may be able to only post about this subject 4 more times in our lifetime, I'd figure I'd spend some time and tell you all about it.

The day started off @ around 7am (est) in the morning, where our two cats (Named Lily and Necronomicon, or "Con" for short) decided in usual fashion to wake us up. Their clever process to do so involved meowing small pathetic cries reminiscent of angry squirrel noises and walking on our faces. Typically such lingo usually denotes "Seriously, we're starving and it's well past our feeding time of 5:30 in the morning," but today, both of us could have swore they were preaching "Happy b-day Sarah."

So, after Sarah had a quick French toast breakfast and me dozing in and out of consciousness till 930, the present begetting presentation quickly began.

Sarah ever-so-kindly received a life sized cast iron tea and kettle set with two tea cups roughly the size of a fraternity man's dream shot glass. This present giving was also quickly followed by a nice sweater. ... It was purple.

Needless to say but very important to write we spent a lil time shopping followed by dinner and Saki drinks at a Hibachi Grill. If you ever get the pleasure of seeing one of these fine establishments on the street, you should go in. It's one of those places where a cook comes out to your table, juggles knives and forks, cooks your food on your table inside a fire breathing onion volcano, and then chucks shrimp at your face till you just happen to catch one in the mouth.

The night now, is slowly winding down with a small but filling bag of lightly buttered popcorn and a halfway thru watched version of Empire Records- Director's Cut.



And that... was today.

Party ay Our Place

Sara and I will be planning a summar bash at our place. Will any of you be in town this summer? My first thought is 4th of July or maybe even the weekend before or after my birthday (July 15th). But we're in the really early stages and would want to have as many of you there as possible, so let us know.
