Summer definitely seems over, as the calendar is filling up with many good options - 41 this week. Every week, there seems to be at least one open bar...

Phillies are making the non-believers believers. Let's hope it continues. Eagles had a tough loss on Monday. If Donovan does not fumble the hand off with eight minutes to go in the game while we were driving in Dallas territory, would we have still lost that game? The defense did look weak and it seems Dawkins was a step slow all night.
Please note the sponsor this week. Save the 28th and plan to attend the Sippin event. It is one of the best Sunday events we have in the city all year.
As always, if you are thinking of buying or selling a home, please talk to me as I am a licensed Realtor and would like to assist you. - Mark

FRONTIER2 is a new type of company for the next wave of technology and business; we are service design firm focused on helping clients create sustainable competitive advantage in their business. What is service design? It is a combination of strategic business analytics with the more intuitive aspects of traditional design that asks "what if" and "why not?" This synergy of imagination and implementation leads to innovative breakthroughs and has been successfully implemented many times over the past few years with my individual consulting clients. In order to provide more full-service capabilities, I started FRONTIER2 and have brought on a number of full-time employees. Things are moving quickly - we just moved into our new office here in the Great Valley Corporate Center, we landed a very interesting engagement after the client compared us to three other (bigger) firms, and we are actively recruiting talent for our growing pipeline.
