What a wild strange trip it's been ...

It feels a long time ago since our staff holiday gathering of good cheer, gratitude and the sharing of blessings through our annual Give 5 initiative. We did a good job in four hours making the case for giving away 5% of pre-tax earnings from Campaign Consultation and Eye Byte Solutions to charitable social causes.

For the first time, one of our favorite vendors added his support to Give 5 by adding in-kind product support. Way cool.

Back to China bound, it's been a long strange trip since finding out my flight reservations were incorrectly tagged. . But by the chin of my chinny, chin-chin, I was squeezed on the same flight a day later.

I'll be landing in Hong Kong and Tapei 24 hours later than expected which means I have 2 hours after landing to give my presentation on Producing Proposals That Work at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan.

Then, in another strange twist, we will really be cutting it close due also to volcano activity in Russia which has interrupted fuel production -- which demands a refuel stop before proceeding to Hong Kong.

At some point, you take a peek around and if there's nothing to be done ... Get some shut-eye. Catch ya later on this wild, wonderful experiment in cultural communication. LBR
