Good morning from Collegeville,
We may get a January thaw today or tomorrow. Wonderful! Today would be a good day to count your blessings. My heart goes out to the folks in Haiti. I just now sent a text message to 90999. Simply text the word “Haiti” and $10 will go to the Red Cross and it will appear on your telephone bill. If all of you did this it would raise over $7,000 for the relief effort.
The tendonitis seems to be healing. I may not have to have surgery after all. I am not planning on going back to using the laptop except when I go to Sun Valley in September. A wireless mouse, a wireless ergonomic keyboard and a large LCD monitor is a good idea.
If ever someone asks you about your opinion on the most important invention to have an impact on office productivity, the proper answer might well be the invention of Windows. I am old enough to remember when you had to shut down the accounting program completely then open up the word processing program before you could draft a memo. Now you simply minimize and switch back and forth between many programs at will. Think about it. By the way my first “contact management” system was a 3 x 5 recipe card system and a 1-31 “tickler” file. Now we use ACT!
The show this week is another live show from The War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. Special guests include American blues master Elvin Bishop, mezzo soprano Frederica von Stade, choral singing ensemble Chanticleer and legendary Scottish balladeer, Jean Redpath. Enjoy the show and don’t forget to check out the APHC website for a movie house near you that will broadcast the live show on Thursday February 4th at 7 PM CST.
