My but I’m late sharing here today!  Why does it take as much time following up on a successful event as it takes to put it together?

Last evening was the culmination of over 2 months of planning to launch AWP and NAFE affiliated networks along the eastern corridor of Indiana-Ohio from north of Dayton to the mighty Ohio River.  If I may ‘crow’ just a little - it was a stunning success!  We tested the “ConnectWorking”(tm) model and it worked well with few ‘kinks’.  Great relief.  And the momentum began and is continuing, so I/we have to try to keep up with it!

“Keeping up with it” has consumed my entire day!  Emails and lists, etc. to get together and answer questions, etc.  And we do have some new AWP members, so all in all it’s been a great week!

Friday I try to do just a few “Tips & Tidbits”, so as not to renege on my schedule, I’ve posted the link for a newsletter with tips to stay safe ordering online this holiday season.  It’s one of the biggest concerns many consumers have about using the convenience and ease of internet shopping.  So take note; stay safe and enjoy browsing the internet for holiday gifts for all: http://p.p0.com/YesConnect/HtmlMessagePreview?a=yB3tDeq-RRq_rfxTz9ZR9&msgVersion=web

I’m searching for some great year-end tax planning tips (ugh!) as well.  They seem to be elusive at the moment, but I’ll locate them and post over the weekend.

This wasn’t much of a conversation today.  I apologize for being weary; blurry-eyed and operating on half a brain instead of both hemispheres!  Don’t know how many of you are Rush (Limbaugh) fans, but I love to listen to him when driving.  One of his famous phrases about his expertise has to do with being able to do more than the average ‘joe’ with just “half a brain”.  Well, I can’t say that today. 

When you awake tomorrow, it will be December 1.  Hard to imagine that just 31 days remain in this year and that the wonderful holiday season is once again upon us!  If it’s cool, cold or frigid where you are, then let’s make some awesome hot cocoa (with marshmallows) and curl up on the sofa or bed to ‘veg’ tonight! 

Sounds good to me.  How about you?

Until tomorrow, have an awesome evening!
