Weekend
Well, This weekend was fun. I visited my grandparents. My mom and I drove up to spend the weekend convincing my grandfather to make good on his promise to take care of the "situation" at our family's lake house.
First order of business: I feel it necessary to define a term. I may at times use cottage and lake house interchangeably. The reason is that cottage is the colloquial family term for a place in Northern Wisconsin that is, in my estimation, far from a cottage. Don't get me wrong. The place is not palatial. In fact, right now it is a sad state of disrepair.
To me, cottage evokes an image of some quaint sea/lakeside bungalow; a log cabin set back in a mature mixed-hardwoods forest; or even an old farm house, lovingly maintained but not modernized. I suppose for the majority of my family this is a semantical argument. For them (living their day-to-day lives in major metropolitan areas) the cottage may well fit the bill. However, for me (also logging hours in metropolis) a place with satellite TV, an internet connection (albeit a miserable dial-up) dishwasher, laundry, etc. is not a cottage.
I will leave my cottage rant for another post ( when I have about five hours to really get it out).
Long story short...My grandfather accepted some of my suggestions and most importantly he agreed to look at a proposal to develop a family website. I am considering taking on the project. Like I don't have enough shit going on. I want to see this happen and if I don't do it no one else will.
Although the development will most likely take months and require 100-500 hundred hours (for my family to agree that is probably a low-ball), I will donate my time and resources.
I see the site as a full-function media/communication portal (think .Mac) for the entire family. I realize most of them will only use the email (email alone would be worth it. I am so sick of all the random emails my family uses. I don't get it. Most of them use a full-featured email client at work/school. But at home it's yahoo or msn; some shitty, free, spam collecting junk). But a calendar, chat client, discussion board and photo/video page are the main features I want. We shall see.
All for now. More on the weekend later.

IFLH announces Senator David Cain has joined its Board of Directors!!
IFLH volume trading is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement. The value of this
stock appears poised for growth! This one should not remain on the ground floor for long.
BREAKING NEWS!!
InterFinancial Holdings, Corp. (OTC Pink Sheets: IFLH - News) announced that they have added
David Cain to their board of directors. David Cain is currently the Chairman of the advisory
board to TTI (Texas Transportation Institute). Senator Cain represented Senate District 2 for
eight years in the Texas Senate and Chaired the Senate State Affairs Subcommittee on
Transportation and served nine terms in the Texas House of Representatives for District 107.
During his twelve years as Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Senator Cain�s
efforts on behalf of the people of Texas have been widely recognized. He was named to Texas
Monthly Magazine�s list of Ten Best Legislators, the Dallas Morning News said he was one of
the outstanding legislators of the 73rd session, and the Texas Department of Transportation
awarded him the Russell H. Perry Award in 1995 for his efforts to gain public awareness of
the need for and benefits of transportation facilities in the State of Texas.
Jeffrey C. Bruteyn, Managing Director, stated, We at InterFinancial are proud to have such a
widely recognized Senator join our board and oversee out automotive lending division. His
affiliations and connections to the automotive industry will be invaluable to our company.
Senator Cain will be instrumental in expediting our approval to use a government issued Seller
Finance License.
Seller Finance Licenses are very difficult to obtain and are usually reserved for the Big Boys
with heavy lobbyists. These licenses are highly coveted because it allows the finance company
to collect the entire down payment, instead of paying a portion of it to the taxing authority.
This dramatically helps a finance company�s bottom line if the buyer defaults on the loan.
With the new GPS tracking systems being installed on every car to dramatically improve
repossessions and with Senator Cain on the Board of Directors, InterFinancial Holdings
is ready to take their business to the next level.
Conclusion:
The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little known Companies
That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens. This stock will not be a Secret for long.
Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!
GO IFLH!
