George, has she shown you any sites at this point. The biggest issue is the viability of the site. The economics of the real estate, rent, term, and lease conditions, landlord/developer etc. The Goddard stuff is really secondary. I can run you all numbers on the school in about 10 minutes. A little market analysis is all it will take. Demographics are important and they usually run these prior to settling on a site. But you should ask her for that..1,2,3 and 5 mile radius the #kids 0-5 and family income on any site she is showing you. I still think your biggest hurdle to doing the Goddard thing is getting the house thing settled. You do not want to open a school and not have enough capital to carry you through ramp up.
Today I trained for the Spring Lake 5. Got on the treadmill and ran 5 miles in sub 8 min mile pace. But the treadmill makes that a lot easier to do. However, no pounding on the knees. Last mile was at about a 7min mile...good songs on the I-Pod. Finished up with stomach and upper body work as usual. Still no Carmen been out now for a month. Have no way of contacting him and I have know him for over 5 years. It is funny how some friendships work.
Tomorrow the weather may not allow me to cross train on the golf course. If so I will do a run somewhere.
I almost did the same thing to my knee on Sunday playing baseball with Freddy and his buddies. Did my Luis Tiant moves which the kids were getting a kick out of but my knees were feeling it.

Fred, I am truly impressed by your ability to run at a speedy pace. I have tried to run sub 8 one mile runs on the track... can't do it.
I get the Goddard advice, thanks... demographics etc.... just wished I didn't have to do business with an " edge " in this space( I can handle it, but the retired exec that I am wants to optimize ) I agree, house needs to clarify and if it does.... that is my go.
Sara Lee stock up today... good, the balance of my portfolio was nicked. I am virtually 100 % in alternative energy plays oil down, alternative energy down.... this makes incredible sense to me, just like in hindsight... commodity plays made a tremendous amount of sense. Jobs numbers will be interesting tomorrow... big directional day, I think. We need a follow through in the afternoon to today.
Taking a second day off from running.... figure it makes sense to let my knee rest for 48 hours. Plan to run 12 tomorrow to catch up. I also need to eat less... I'm carbing pretty heavy these days, body seems to crave it.
