Aaaahhhhh...the "joys" of commercial air travel!

So apparently deep cuts in multiple tires is a reason to cancel a flight....after the whole plane has boarded!  I think maybe the ground crew should have checked this out sooner....but what do I know? 

Thankfully Memphis has a good Delta Sky Club....here's to you and cheers to me!

Airport breakfasts are lacking

I understand that with all the TSA requirements or there today that actual real silverware is extremely dangerous.  But regardless of how good the food might actually be, when you are forced to pay a 50% higher price for a meal them be forced to use plastic knives and forks, it just doesn't taste quite as good.

Good thing it's early...

So I guess they have winter in St Louis

Just because I'm on the southern edge of what some may consider the Midwest does not mean that winter doesn't rear her ugly head! St Louis is a nightmare today. The problem with winter in central or southern states is that they don't know how to plow, drive, our flat our deal with the snow. Even the airport is shut down!

Multi stop Madness

Hitting the road again....this time in St Louis, to Louisville, then on to Dallas all before heading back to the Midwest.  The problem......getting all the display materials and associated work items all packed into boxes, crates, or suitcases to make shipment easier....AND have enough material to actual do my job.

A side note....Delta does NOT charge much more to fly first class on multi stop tickets than coach.  If you're brave/dumb enough to travel like I have to, check first class rates!!!!

People traveled to me this time!

During this time of year, I'm normally hitting the road pretty hard to meet with our clients and spheres of influence.  But this week it is a nice change for me to have so many of our distributors, vendors, and clients travel to Watertown to attend our annual convention.  I appreciate all the time and trouble that these people have given to deepening the relationship and goal of mutual success.  Thank you!
