Some encouraging news for the travel industry and some tips on pricing if you plan to travel soon.

I’ve felt an increase in travel through my pet services business and this report, out from hotels.com, corroborates a travel trend moving up.  Hotel rates have risen by 2%, but there are good deals to be had.  Favorite travel spots include western Europe and in the US, of course, NY, [...]

Election 2010…what a sad day for America

I wasn’t up at the crack of dawn posting furiously along with the rest of the world on the results of yesterday’s election, where the American people voted the Democratic party out of their majority.   I really needed to sit and think, without giving a gunshot opinion. 

The defeat of the Democrat party [...]

Too much to say…but you know I’ll say it

My head is burbling with pre-election jumble, thoughts about healthcare and so much more…so, to start, here is this week’s link to the Blogging Boomers’ Carnival #180, hosted by the always astute, John Agno.  Definitely worth a stop over.

Onto the muddled state I find myself in…all thoughts, comments, yeahs or nays welcome.

Every single day

I’m a social butterfly.  One of those people who loves any sort of opportunity to chat with new people, experience exciting new things, see new sights.  Very socially oriented. 

As a result, and as a business owner, I LOVE networking events and social mixers.  Most of the people who attend are in business [...]

The banks vs. the people

Say all you want about the power of government to jumpstart (or not) the economy in these unusual times, but from where I sit, at this moment in my life, the big banks are major culprits in keeping the economy hostage.  As usual, my own experience informs my opinion, so let me bring [...]

Whirlwind days at LA Auto Show…and for GM in more ways than one.

There are two aspects to the LA Auto Show that have captured my attention this year.  The first is the innovation that is emerging in sustainable energy (and I’ll have a post just on the green cars I enjoyed test driving.)  The second is the continual shakeup in the auto industy — this time at GM.
