Time Out!
The news media has inundated us with so much doom, gloom, hate, and anger, that I’m going to take a Time Out! So, this weekend (maybe longer) I am going to stop watching any news, and simply……..

Try it—maybe you’ll like it!

Back Online!
It’s been a real headache, but I am finally back online. It seems the house we moved to had a bad underground cable, and a construction crew had to pull a new cable across the street and through our yard. Many visits by the cable company finally got the service working, so I’m now up and running (and looking at many, many unopened emails).
Hoping to have a couple of interesting things ready to post early next week.
Downtime
Well, my office is all packed up and I will be turning off my Internet service momentarily. We are moving to Ojai, California, and it will likely be a week or more before I have my office and Internet service operational again. In the meantime, I’m sure there will be many challenges directed at small business, so there will be many topics to tackle when I get back online.
Good luck in all your ventures, and I’ll be back soon.

President Obama’s School Speech
With all the furor over the speech our President is about to give to school children, I am wondering if America has lost its way. Between ignorance and the effect of “fomenters,” we have certainly lost the ability to exercise public debate. What a shame.
For anyone interested–here is the text of President Obama’s upcoming speech.
Talk About Customer Service!
Just read Seth Godin’s blog, and watched a video he made three years ago, titled “This is Broken.” If anyone has any interest in customer service, customer communication, or customer relations, this is a must watch video. Check it out here:
Let’s Lighten it Up!
There has been too much doom and gloom on the “ethers” lately, and since it is Saturday, I thought I would just lighten things up a little. Check it out!

I hope that picked up your spirits a little. Have a great weekend!
