I just returned from the ACCA Convention last week and after getting
50 inches of snow in southern Pennsylvania last month, the trip to Tampa
was a welcome one. The dose of good weather was reinvigorating, but
spending time with some of the country’s top contractors was even more
so. The Warm Thoughts team and I spent three days digging deep with
these industry leaders, discussing their marketing plans, consulting
with them on how to grow their business this year and listening to their
strategies for 2010.

I was leaving my last class for the day when I saw my friend, Ken
Frankel, working out in the hallway with one of those pistol-grip label
makers. I stopped and asked what he was doing.

AMERICAN SPORTS LEGEND TO DELIVER KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT HVACR WEEK
Come celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the “Miracle On Ice” with an
Opening Keynote Event at HVACR WEEK like no other. U.S. Olympic hockey

stories on overcoming the odds, the benefits of hard work, and the
belief that anything is possible. HVACR WEEK attendees will walk away
inspired, moved and ready to take Mike’s message right back to their

the Gold Medal. Sports Illustrated rated the U.S. upset of the Soviets
as the “#1 Sports Moment of the 20th Century”.
