Emails. Phone call with Shari O. about Newtek servers. We also talked a bit about the adilas business model and how things are going and developing there. Here are a few of my notes:

- You have to suit up and show up at the table - over and over again. You can't just show up once and get your way.

- We tend towards a work in progress vs a fully finished and polished piece of art. That seems to be our style. We just keep building and refining.

- We really play well with most of the people who are key players. Shari O. was talking about personalities and mixing those together. She is a good mother hen and watches out for her virtual chicks or peeps. Along those same lines, we have a number of key players who are doing great in filling their roles and doing a great job. We would love to see more of the same and keep refining along the way.

- Similar fabric yet we have our differences.

- We want to worry about the whole client base vs just a smaller selection or portion - think big picture.

- Awesome discussion on checks and balances and how those can prevent misuse and dictator type influences. How can we build in some checks and balances into our business model? Cool concept.

- Finally, we got into servers, payables, and options. We have servers at Newtek, Hostek, and AWS. We are trying to keep it all tight and straight and don't want to pay for services or products that we are not using. This is turning into a fulltime job, just to keep track of all of the pieces, expenses, and services being offered and paid for.
