Business lessons

Learned at yesterday's round table:

1. Keep a word jar
2. Be a chicken seller. Build your business plan. Substitute "chicken" with "your product/service"
3. When building your strategic plan, question all your assumptions. Build and alternate plan based on the opposite being true.

Gilda Suprema: Rigoletto at #TheAtlantaOpera

Another great night at Atlanta Opera for their production of Rigoletto. The most tragic moment, in my opinion, is Rigoletto's entrance on stage in Act II, "La la, la la, la la, la la". Pathos to the max, so to speak. And a beautiful job was done of the emotionally complex quartet of Act III.
Serra as Gilda was a voice from heaven, as surely no human can produce such a perfect sound. 

Rigoletto - Todd Thomas
Gilda - Nadine Serra
Duca - Scott Quinn
Sparafucile - Morris Robinson
Maddalena - Krysty Swann

Margot Shaw, founder of Flower Magazine. Knowing not a thing about flower arranging and almost nil about flowers, everything she said was a lesson.

Main lesson learned: pause. Look around. Find the beauty. Use it.

You make me social

Thank you Sam for making me organise birthday drinks and thank you to all who came and thank you to Sam and Annie for this gem:

The mother run

The last ski run of the day. You go to the top of the slope and make your way all the way back down to base. Personally, I choose a leisurely run, to end the day with a long, easy ski allowing me to enjoy the view, the breeze and the fact that these planks on my feet allow me to slide down the side of a mountain.
