Sarasota is a special place for me. I spent 11 years here as a TV sportscaster at the local ABC station. During those years I spent part of almost every day on the beach in the photo above. I lived on the mainland about 10 minutes away and would get up every morning, drive to the beach and spend a few hours soaking up the sun  in one of the world's most beautiful locations. At mid-day I would head back home to get ready for work on the 6pm and 11pm newscasts. 

I later moved on to a major market station in Tampa (CBS at the time but now a Fox station) and spent 6 years doing sports there before opening my own business and leaving broadcasting for good to become an entrepreneur. I never forgot Sarasota though and have always thought about re-connecting with the city in some way. Recently I acquired a Sarasota geodomain that I like a lot and as time permits this week, I will go around town and do some research to decide if I want to go ahead with the project (I don't want to release more details at this point - best not to tip competitors off in the event I do take the plunge). Right now, my mind says yes - do it!, but my current work schedule says, "Are you out of your mind!" If I tackle the project I will have to be very hands on - I have never been a good delegater, probably my biggest weakness - but knowing that in advance will hopefully help me make a sound decision. 

This is a great thing about domains though - they open the doors to an endless variety of opportunities - the biggest problem is often deciding which ones you want to (or have time) to pursue.  Have a great Labor Day weekend (for those outside the U.S. - this is a big national holiday on Monday - one that marks the unofficial close of summer) and I hope to see you back here Tuesday!
