What I Learned About Sales from a Timeshare
Jun 12, 2008 in Elsewhere
I’ve been gone for a while; mostly it was too much work, launching a whole marketing campaign. But some of it was fun — I went to the Hawaiian island of Kauai on a good week’s vacation, paid for substantially by attending a timeshare presentation. Now that was an education on sales.

In Which I Fall Behind on My Posting 'Cause I'm Relaxing on the Beach, Suckas
Jun 1, 2008 in Photos, Travel
I’m sorry I haven’t written! But I’ve been so, well, relaxed, and busy doing relaxing things. For instance, sleeping in. And sleeping on the beach. And sleeping next to the pool.

Flyin'
May 29, 2008 in Photos, Travel
From the busy, crazy Honolulu — at least, if you ask the locals, it’s a high-stress, high-traffic place — we flew on one of those little jets made by dirty Canucks, to sunny and slower Kauai. The “garden isle” of Ceti Alpha 5 Hawaii, Kauai has a cute little airport that looks like it’s made of Lincoln Logs and is open to the air.

Will You Need a Blue Sky Holiday?
May 27, 2008 in Photos, Travel
Today was a very relaxing day; which was good, because we both needed it. Normally, I plan out my vacations ahead of time — learn what sites I want to see at each stop, plan out the day to make sure I hit my itinerary, and make sure my list is completed each day. But this has been a less-planned trip, and we’re trying to relax. This is what happens when two type As relax. To wit, today’s complete schedule: Read on… (plus 10 Comments)
The Secret Word is "Vacation"
May 26, 2008 in Photos, Travel
As promised, I am in fact on vacation. The AIG and I are on a trip to Hawaii; badly needed, since this will make something like two vacations since 2000 for each of us. Perhaps I should’ve brought a book on how to relax? Read on… (plus 2 Comments)
