I am on the road today working with 10 clients all over Northern, CA. I started this morning in Yuba City, then off to Roseville, and then on to Granite Bay before ending up in Elk Grove this evening. Eventhough this is a holiday and I wish I was with my family and friends, I am blessed to have a job where I know I am helping kids achieve great things. Drive safe today as many of you return home from weekend trips. Its going to be a busy week.......

Amber Alert
On my way home on Thursday, I was driving back from Santa Cruz and I was thinking about all the things I needed to do this weekend and listing all my concerns for the next quarter as it related to our business. As I drove home, I noticed the Amber Alert system activated on the freeway. (In California we have these giant monitors along the roadway that give traffic info and also alert us when a child has been abducted.) All the sign read was Child Abduction: Blue Chevrolet and then listed the LIC plate.
This just in: We all have problems and worries, but seeing something like that puts things in perspective. I can't think of anything worst than losing a child to an abduction. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Readers of this blog will know that I say this a lot, but I will say it again....Life is precious. Take each day as a gift.

Big Spoon in Midtown Sacramento
Along J Street in Midtown there is a great place to grab some frozen yogurt. Its called Big Spoon. Apparently, it is not the little secret anymore because when we walked in there was a line out the door. My Jessaca, Scott and his Jessica couldn't believe it....needless to say though, the wait in line was well worth it. I had my standard vanilla topped with brownies.
If you are in the area, stop by and cool down.

Comcast to Buy Plaxo
I am not a big fan of Plaxo -- I have used their Pulse product, which can be seen down the right hand-side of this blog, but I have found FriendFeed and others to be more useful. Plaxo seems to be struggling to find itself in a very crowded marketplace and now buy announcing that Comcast is buying them I have to say after reading comments posted on the company's website their users were not pleased with the idea of becoming linked with Comcast. Should be very interesting to see how this merger plays out, but I will most likely delete my plaxo account.

Buckhorn Branding
Everywhere I go in midtown, I see people carrying to-go cups from Buckhorn. Doesn't matter where I am going - I see these cups on every corner. It seems that everyone has lunch at The Buckhorn Grill. Who would have thought that something as simple as a plastic cup can be such a significant marketing tool?
