You freelancers / work at home / service people will LOVE this.

So… the Canadian women’s hockey team is in trouble. For smoking cigars and drinking beer after their win yesterday (jeez, I’m on a real cigar kick with posting, huh?)

Let’s get this straight: it’s ok for baseball players to spray bubbly (and I’m sure at some point, some underage 20 y/o rookie was in on it), and it was ok for Red Auerbach to light up a victory cigar after the Celtics win, but it’s not ok for these women who just won Olympic gold?

Say those words again - Olympic friggen’ Gold.

Maryellen tells me I’m very progressive in my views towards women, and it extends to this as well.

Drink / smoke up, ladies - you earned it.

Ok, this isn’t so much a post about Dracula smoking cigars with Godzilla as it is to prove a point. In other words, this post is a test. A test that has to do with business and marketing. More to come in a few days.

And now, I’m off for the long weekend (I may even smoke a cigar… although not likely with Godzilla and Dracula. That would be kinda cool, though…)

Enjoy your President’s Day Weekend, everyone. I’ll return to this test next week.

Just got done watching The Who perform on the Superbowl halftime show.

Not really impressed - very safe, very predictable. Their 6 most popular songs, squeezed into 12 minutes. Likely just what the Superbowl wanted.

I’d love to see them book Neil Young, and have him say “Screw the greatest hits medley…. here’s 12 minutes of “Down by the River”" 

So I get one of those pieces of mail today (I think it was from GEICO insurance company) that was addressed to “Dan Furman or Current Occupant”. As I looked at that address, I took a moment to think about what that is really saying:

It’s essentially saying “Ok, we’d really like Dan Furman to read this, because he’s a fine individual that we want to do business with. But on the off-chance that Dan is not here, well, ANYONE ELSE will do. Really, anyone living at this address is fine. Tax cheat, axe murderer… whatever. If you’re at this address, even if you’re not Dan, open this up - we want YOU.”

I’m glad Maryellen doesn’t feel this way.

Enjoy your weekend.
