Last night, Mommy & Daddy got all dressed up & went to Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Gala for the GA, AL, TN region.  I didn't go.  If I had been meant to wear a tux, I would have been born a tuxedo kitty, right?

I watched the festivities from home, on web cam.  It really cut into my nap time, but I wanted to share in the excitement. 

For each category, a video on each of the finalists was played.  Then, there was a drum roll & the winner was announced.  Daddy was a finalist in the Manufacturing/Consumer Products category.  When they announced M. Brooks Smith as the winner for this category, he was STUNNED!  It takes a lot to surprise my daddy, as he's always composed & sure of himself.  He accepted the award & spoke to the audience, ending on a topic that is "so daddy."  He ended by talking to the characteristics that make him & his company who & what they are - integrity, honesty & simple fairness. 

So, congrats, Daddy on your newest acronym:  E.O.Y. - Entrepreneur of the Year! 

In November, we'll go to Palm Springs so that Daddy can participate at the national level (yes, I'm probably going). 

Catch ya' later.  --AJ the Kitty Boy
