"Welcome Home"
After 10 days in Israel, I’m back to my other Jewish homeland - Long Island. It was an incredible trip with fun, respectful, and inspiring people…both Americans and Israelis. Israel is no longer a faceless place across the ocean, and being Jewish is no longer a switch I turn on and off based on situations or convenience.
Thank you everyone on my Israel Outdoors trip. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
Sababa.
Shalom.

Now that I’m not working, I have time to explore…
This was going to be a couple-paragraph post about the necessity of trying new technologies/tools/utilites in order to have any business recommending (or trashing) it. But I figured it’d be more useful to just try something for the first time. This way you get to view my tech learning curve in action and add this to your observations in this case about blogger/flickr absorption. Plus, I don’t waste your time reading (I don’t waste my time coming up with) pop culture quotes to accurately reflect this comfort-by-trial approach… Is it true if you don’t use it, you lose it?
Getting Immersed In A Brand
In advertising, we often talk about brand immersion as a necessary step in (and often the starting pt. to) the strategic process. If you don’t know the company/product/service inside and out, how can you possibly understand its strengths, weaknesses, unique selling propositions, personality, etc.? Those working on the KitchenAid account spend a lovely week in Benton Harbor, MI at their corporate offices; Purina team members get to visit St. Louis (as well as Wal-Mart’s and Petsmart’s); other employees here did actually “stay in a Holiday Inn Express” last night (needless to say, they are the smartest people in the office). So The Islands Of The Bahamas is not an exception. 4 days in Nassau and Harbour Island-it’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it…

Where I’ve Been #2
Some random March day in Boston.
Trent’s Wedding
From Friday morning arrival Minneapolis to Friday afternoon arrival in Cleveland to tux shop (where they told me that my left leg is 1″ longer than my right) to rehearsal dinner to bars to pizza to cell phone to pass out to wake up to freezing to bar to shower and dress to seating people to rolling out the cloth to walking down the aisle to I do’s to releasing guests to pictures to drinking to reception entrance to long ass speeches and one “awesome” one from the best man to grace (which I believe is still going) to eating to more drinking to dancing and back to the bar to the after party in the hotel to serving (and chanting) to hard work to bathroom floor to bed to hotel waffles to bye’s to Cleveland airport to Minneapolis. Enjoy…
