Received an email from a friend, who pointed out that it’s been more than a month since I posted something here. Sorry! I didn’t know you cared that much!
Actually, I’ve been enjoying the peace and quiet of a routine life. No travel, no trade shows, no marketplaces, no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left on base! Not that I don’t love all those things…I do. I think you know that by now if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time! But it’s also nice to not have any of those things to “worry” about for a while!
This year will be much easier…the worst travel block is already passed in January and February. From here, the only other really busy time is August and September, and even those months are not back-to-back- to-back travel. Out a week, home a week, and so on. And no, not another rant about a common calendar for all the tradeshows (hint, hint, ABA!).
And the industry is quiet right now. OK, Lois gave in to the Dark Side, and is now working for THEM, but other than that, status quo reigns. What? Lois…oh, she’s the new Outside Sales Manager for Perkiomen Tours! So she’s an Operator now, and expecting to be treated as such (like that’s going to happen!). It’s great for her, and a great opportunity for her to use her sales skills and help open new opportunities for a great company. So Mazal Tov to her, and all the very best wishes!
And that’s the latest, apart from the story below…let it be a lesson to you, please, and learn from my mistakes. And I promise not to stay away for this long again!
