Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Be nice to the one you love.

FOB is working on some new outlets for the product. First up will be the new Central Market at the corner of Preston Rd. and Royal Lane in Dallas. Feel free to suggest FOB to your favorite non-Central Market grocery store. New outlets will be posted here. Thank you all for your support.

Full Of Bull BBQ Sauce has its own Facebook page. Feel free to like. That is also a location where I post upcoming demos.

Thank you to Addie D’Agostino for deciding to carry Full Of Bull BBQ Sauce in her new store—Relish in Houston. It is located at 3951 San Felipe in Houston. The website is www.relishhouston.com. Watch for their upcoming opening. Posted 6/16/11

A special thank you to Bob Carroll, the owner of BBQ Outfitters in Austin. For the second year in a row he has chosen to carry Full Of Bull BBQ Sauce. Also, thank you to Stor Self-storage for allowing me to display FOB on their counter. Believe it or not, it actually sells without Steve doing a demo. Progress my friends, progress.

Upcoming demos:
FOB is through with demos for 2011. I will resume in 2012 and you can find the schedule here and on Facebook.

*All demos run from approximately 11am until 5pm.

Woo hoo! It’s 2012 and FOB is doing better than ever. I stopped doing Central Market demos in the middle of December. I just didn’t think that anyone was really in the mood to hear me shovel my bull with the holidays just around the corner. I will resume in late February just in time for the rodeos in Ft.Worth, San Antonio and Houston. To everyone that bought Full Of Bull BBQ Sauce in 2011, you have my undying gratitude. It is a labor of love for me and I hope that that shows through with my attitude at my demos. I look forward to seeing each and everyone of you in 2012.

Has writing “thank you” notes gone out of style? I don’t think so. It is the one way that you can distinguish yourself from the masses who think that a “thank you” e-mail is adequate. And then there are those that don’t do either. Surely your parents taught you better.

In addition to Central Markets in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Plano, Dallas and Ft.Worth, Full Of Bull BBQ Sauce is available at Austinites on 183 in Austin and at BBQ Outfitters on Highway 620 in Austin.

*****Random Thoughts*****

1. Accept the fact that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.
2. Always keep your words soft and sweet just in case you have to eat them.
3. Always read stuff that makes you feel good.
4. Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
5. If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

A friend of mine says this about life and circumstances—”it’s a long worm that never turns.”

Thought for a lifetime: Always be willing to sign your work.

FYI: “Pretty good” or “pretty nice” or “pretty smart” isn’t a compliment. If you are going to qualify your compliment, just don’t say anything at all.

To quote Ron White of Blue Collar Comedy fame, “you can’t fix stupid.” You really can’t.

If you are on the freeway driving in the left hand lane and only driving the speed limit, move over to another lane. You are far more dangerous than the person that is driving, in your words, “too fast.”
