Lots of catch up work to do today — think I should have come back a day earlier — feeling sort of overwhelmed with getting stuff done some I have some status to report at tomorrow’s Events and Adventuresmarketing meeting. It all needs to get done by 3pm so I can get out the door [...]

OK — I’m shocked. Here is a portion of an email I just sent to my wonderful hosts for this weekend’s travel: Flight an hour late getting out of Chico, but I had a two hour layover so still had time for lunch � and then they even served me a snack on the flight [...]

There has been an idea kicking around in my head for the last week or so, and apparently it takes being on the road for this to come to fruitian. Seeing all the Obama shirts for sale on the Shirts of Bamboo site, I had this rumbling feeling about scrabble tiles. And then the true [...]

Well — leave it to me to cause trouble in Chico. And from the most unlikely of sources — taking a picture of the dump (we did a dump run this morning). We were taking the tarp off the trailer (before hitting the dumping area to minimize time spent in the smell) and I got [...]

First, the recap of last night. Spent too much money,�had to much to drink — it must have been a good fundraising event. Here are a couple of pictures from the more quiet moments: Some nice banner exposure for two of my clients: Shirts of Bamboo and Events and Adventures. Initial numbers from the auction [...]

First, for the politics… which I’m wondering how I’m going to be able to stomach the next two months. I might actually have to stop watching the news! This clip did come across my desk this morning — and it’s worth passing on. Being too frugal to actually pay for cable, I miss most of [...]

Well — with The Great Art Party tomorrow, it’s time to bind 200 catalogs today. Gone are the baby blue coils, gone are the royal blue coils, and I’m half way through the gold coils. At this rate, another 10 years worth of catalogs and I’ll be out of coils. It did get me to [...]

Well, banner were supposed to arrive today — make that tomorrow. UPS delays. Got the membership manual revisions, at least I can make that happen. Will fix tomorrow. Postcards look good — should have used the green logo — and who rewrote that headline? And yet another order from Computer Geeksfor hard disk interfaces (yesterday [...]

As weird as it was early this summer to be working, it’s just as weird to wake up in the morning and realize that summer is over, your contract is over, and you have the day to yourself. Guess I’d better: Finish MoonSong’s ad for the Great Art Party catalog Redo my ad since I [...]

5:45am comes early — for both Onyx and I.� Luckily Starbucks is open which make him happy — the worries of an early Labor Day flight. SFO is one of the airports that has a speed line for even their Premier members. I’m Premier Executive (until February 2008 when it will most likely slip to [...]
