Damato of the Day Is… “Now It’s Government Self-Interference”
Swore I would quit whining about the antics of our federal government and get back to more topical roofing issues but the hits just keep on coming.

Damato of the Day Is … “Stay Out of the Sales Business (Government Interference Part III)”
I was not going to do this. Rant about the government, that is. But they just will not stop, so what else can I do?

Damato of the Day Is … “Government Interference Part II”
Well the party is over (for now) with the $8,000 new-homebuyer credit. Many expect the small burst in new-home construction will drop and we will return to the doldrums. I do not think so.

Damato of the Day Is … “I Love Change”
I really do. I love change. It makes my writing job so easy. Getting words structured into proper sentences and spelling words right is not much of a challenge when you have spell checker along with talented and educated editors fixing everything you mess up (thanks, y’all).

Damato of the Day Is … “Time for a Little Irony”
For the two of you (hi Mom!) who are regular readers of this Blog, I will begin this one by apologizing for the long absence. For some reason I was hit with a world-class case of spring fever this year. Was it me or was that the longest and coldest winter in recent memory?

Damato of the Day Is … “I Can Hardly Wait”
This time next week I will be packing it up and heading to New Orleans for the NRCA Convention and the International Roofing Expo. After over 35 years of these things you would think I might be tired of them, but I am just as excited this time as I was in 1974 when Julien (the late Julien P. Benjamin Jr.) footed the bill for me to attend my first roofing convention.

Damato of the Day Is … “Responding to Unimaginable Loss”
The
figures are staggering. The loss of life. Families and lives torn apart. And
all in a country where pain and suffering never seem to cease. Our hearts go
out to the people of Haiti.
Or should I call them “the survivors”?

Damato of the Day Is… “Who Dat? Who Else?!”
Leave it to the endlessly greedy NFL owners to pass on a great PR opportunity in favor of once again being perceived as a bunch of greedy bastards.

Damato of the Day Is… “Guess it Was Just Our Turn”
I could have titled this blog entry “The Friday From Hell,” but in spite of some nastiness it did not turn out all bad. Things started to go downhill as I was getting dressed for work and received a call from my office manager informing me that we were broken into around 4 a.m.

Damato of the Day Is… “The Goobers in Control Are Out of Control”
I do realize it is probably best that I stay away from politics in this blog, the same way as I try to avoid it in my daily life. Don’t get me wrong — I do not miss a chance to vote and support the things I feel are very important.

Damato of the Day Is… “Goodbye, 2009”
The lovely and talented Kay, queen of my life, likes to say, “Life is like a roll of toilet paper. It goes away faster as it gets closer to the end.” Well, guess my age is showing because 2009 just went by in what seemed like a flash.

Damato of the Day Is … “The Long Journey Home”
While
I have made it a practice to make an entry to this blog every week, there have
been none since the week before leaving on a journey to Vietnam and China.
