We went with the Hales to Cocoa Beach!
What a great time!
One day was cloudy, but we had a great time anyway. It was relaxing and beautiful. (OK, I like stormy days too.)

The next day we went to both the beach and the pool.

Hannah was ready and loved it all.

Happy birthday to Nathan!

Laura and I were invited to the annual gathering of Fuqua's Board of Visitors. Fuqua's deans were presenting student awards. The big surprise to me: I was given a Distinguished Service Award... and the associated 10 inch crystal award is absolutely beautiful (and a bit hard to photograph). It was for students who "have provided outstanding service to the School or the greater community through clubs, symposia, volunteer work, or elected positions, and who have done so in a respectful and courteous manner."

THANKS FUQUA! I'm certainly honored. (However, I was already dedicated to Duke for life.)

Terms 1 and 2 (Fall of 2005) were great and I learned a tremendous amount. Entrepreneurial Finance (by David T. Robinson) has been my favorite class so far. It is like a capstone class that pulled all concepts together to analyze situations and value companies/ideas. Many key concepts are also present in my Entrepreneurial Commercialization course (the class that I'm taking at NC State) but from a very different perspective.

I look forward to term 3 and Entrepreneurial Strategy with Wes Cohen. I've had him before in Intellectual Capital and it was great.
