"L" is for Loveland

"What doesn't the 'L' stand for? Loser?"
- Wes Goubeaux


Loser, Wes? “L” stands for Loveland! Duh.

Every year on Choice One’s “birthday,” October 24, Brian Barhorst makes little “1” cookies to celebrate. In fact, this upcoming October 24, will be Choice One’s 18th birthday. Bring on the lottery, cigarettes, and finally moving out of our parents’ house!

Now that the Loveland office has been up and running for a year, Brian decided to celebrate its first “birthday” on August 30. Not wanting to make “1” cookies for Loveland, Brian made “L” for Loveland (c’mon, Wes, the only losers around here are the Chicago Cubs).

We want to make a pretty big deal that Loveland Choice One has turned one, especially considering the music academy directly above the office features beginner clarinet lesson each week. They’ve made new friends like the City of Loveland and Clermont County, completed some great projects, and successfully eaten at every restaurant within walking distance of 203 W. Loveland Avenue.

So happy birthday Loveland Choice One. Who doesn’t love celebrating birthdays? Well, probably not Tony or Jeff Puthoff, because they’re old.

Two Heads...


"To heads ARE better than one!"
- Megan Bornhorst

 

It’s really best NOT to ask about the story behind this particular photo, its corresponding glasses, and weird Kaye mask that Brittany has donned. Suffice it to say that there was once a terrible cellphone camera photo taken of Kaye in said glasses that just keeps popping up in various places, including a Choice One bathroom cabinet, a laser tag facility in Indianapolis, and, obviously, on Brittany’s face.

Regardless of the origin of the photo, it's important to note that two Kayes would definitely be better than one for several reasons. First of all, these Choice Mindsets would get really off-the-wall. Second of all, the annual Cornhole Tournament would be more elaborate and our clients would have to throw cornbags in even more ridiculous ways. Finally, having two minds and two different viewpoints to consider and debate an issue typically leads to a more practical, useable idea, solution, project, or plan of attack.
 
Of course, one has to look at the negatives, too. Naturally, Kaye is (or thinks she is) always right, so if she had two heads they would always agree with each other. Which kind of defeats the purpose of putting two minds togethering in the first place...
