Shasta Pools

C'mon, how many times have you wished that your home had a backyard pool?  If you're asking me, it would have to be a few million times!  A friend introduced me to Shasta Pools and I have to tell you, they offer some of the most beautiful pools and spas to their customers.

Even business journals have confirmed that Shasta Pools are a great investment and can add value to your home. Just think, being able to swim in the privacy of your home and relax in the jacuzzi with friends and family.

Whether you want a small pool or large Olympic pool, Shasta Pools has the designs!  I used to think there was only one design of a pool, but was impressed to learn that there are as many different types of pools as the imagination.  And, if you are interested in adding a spa to your pool, it can be arranged!  Just think, after a long hard day at work, being able to trade one suit for another and swim several invigorating laps.  Then, to relax, a few short steps to the jacuzzi to relax your muscles and tension away!

 Your home will be the envy of all your neighbors!  So what are you waiting for?  Contact them today!

Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners

When you invest your money, do you know the person who invests it for you?  What are they like?  What sort of credentials do they have?  I think it's a good idea to know who is handling your hard-worked dollars. 

Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners has an impressive background as an academic, but more importantly, he has broad interests in sports and philanthropic ventures.  To give you a broad idea of the man behind the company, I learned a bit more about Alex Crisses Venture Partners; such as he attended Harvard Business School where he was a Conference Director of Venture Capital and Private Equity Club.  Definitely building upon his education for the future.  Having broad interests is also important to leaders in an industry.  For example, Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners didn't experience only academic success, he also enjoyed success as a Former Director of Fundraising and Executive Committee member Minds Matter - New York Based Charity for under privileged High School Students.  He also was involved with New York City Police Foundation, Sergeants Benevolent Association and Make a Wish Foundation.  Last not least, he was a Varsity tennis player at University of Pennsylvania.

All these activities, the educational experience, sports, and charitable work help shape Alex Crisses into the person he is today.

Spring Flowers

In a winter season already dubbed "Snowmeggedon" flowers seem but just a distant memory.  I don't know about you, but I cannot wait until the Spring season is upon us and flowers are everywhere.  Some people really enjoy the blanket of white snow everywhere and the tranquility it provides; but me?  I enjoy seeing the wide array of colors and fresh, fragrant scents that only flowers give.

Whether you enjoy roses, daisies or a spring assortment; flowers will always bring a smile to my face. 

That's why I am going to call 1800flowers.com to pretend that the inside of my home has already greeted Spring with flowers everywhere!
