Schultz: “This is a time when every business can no longer embrace the status quo, and do everything they can to get as close as possible to the customer.” http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5179533n

Me: Totally right. But does a down economy mean booze should replace coffee?

Imagined Schultz: “If the customer can afford the higher cost, yes. But seriously, c’mon. We’re going to serve beer at Starbucks! Heck ya!”

Me: Heck ya!

Take a Break – Ride Your Bike

You’ve been browsing too long. Take a short break. Ride your bike for 30 minutes. It will relax you. It will bring ideas out of the nooks and crannies of your mind. It’ll benefit your health.

I’ve been bike riding along the Long Beach oceanfront bike path for a few weeks around 11 p.m. It’s invigorating. Thanks again Brian for letting me borrow your Beach Cruiser! :)

Mississippi Doesn't Care About the Swine Flu.

According to Facebook, Mississippi doesn’t care about the swine flu.

Tuesday night, Facebook uploaded a photo album on Facebook’s official fan page with images that depict the growth of the discussion about swine flu, and the geographical distribution of that conversation. Living in California, I can corroborate that’s its a hot topic here in the Golden State. Apparently folks in Colorado, New York, Texas, Vermont, and Washington are really catious and vocal, too. The only region not talking up a storm about the swine flu? Mississippi. Maybe they just got over the whole thing in 1976?
