Medicine Balls Rock /  by Chris Tate

I have medicine balls all around the house.  Experience shows that medicine balls are some of the best workout tools there are. I keep a couple near my desk and play with them when I need a break.

Good morning folks.  I'm just sitting here getting the day started by drinking my morning coffee and watching a "Bob Vila's Home Again" episode on sustainable landscaping.  

The Garden /  by Chris Tate

I'm getting ready to end the season and plant some cool weather crops in the planter.  Here's some pics from the warm season crop.  Gardening is so fun and therapeutic; I really enjoy spending time in the garden.

Some Random Street Photos from the Last Few Weeks /  by Chris Tate

Yeah, the last few weeks I've been scoping out some secret places to get some photos and I snapped a few pics while I was out and about.  I was able to find a lot of good spots to shoot and I'm figuring out the best time to shoot them before I grab my gear and head out.  I don't always plan my shots, but these I designed in my head and want them to play out as dreamed.   Check out my photos.   

Cheerio y'all     

It's True /  by Chris Tate

I was watching "Inside: Chipotle" yesterday and I came across what I think is a good quote:

"Really good entrepreneurs all have great passion and it's real..." - Malcolm Knapp, Restaurant Industry Consultant.  

I couldn't agree more.  In my opinion, greatness comes from passion and being congruent with your purpose.    

Yup Yup It's the Stanley Cup /  by Chris Tate

Alright!  Yesterday I got together with some buds and took a pic with the Stanley Cup.  The real deal Stanley Cup ya'll!!!!  Totally awesome!  It was a good day of hockey, hangin' out with friends and eating good BBQ.  Thanks to my bro Orlando for inviting me!   

A Good Day of Cruising and Shooting and Stuff /  by Chris Tate

Today was a good day for me.  I got out and cruised around checking out a few areas I had in mind for photography and I even got a couple decent but different shots in while I was out and found a few surprises I wanna shoot.  I got a yummy looking doughnut recipe from a friend on Facebook.  I think I trained my dog to shake hands :).  I did a few other things and now I gotta do a little commercial real estate investment research and then I'm gonna relax with my wife the rest of the day.  Have a good evening and rest of your afternoon folks.
