I am certain it was the ipad ;-)

Thanks for the kind words: &quot;Mastered the art of blogging&quot; - Hardly. I am actually shocked more than friends and family read me. This is an avenue for expressing myself. Maybe I have some talent,  I don&#039;t know. I have found I like writing when it used to be pure torture. 

The one thing I sure have not mastered is this monetizing thing! And that&#039;s okay. I would rather keep my dignity than to start pumping several times a day...]]></description>

I met Chris at an event where he was promoting his book and entrepreneurial techniques, which was interesting -- but he mentioned an informal pizza meet up after the event.  I arrived at the pizza place at the same time as one of the other attendees, where we found CG at a two-seat table with one of the local event sponsors, a local sort of radio/TV travel writer/marketer that I have always found to have a paticularly unpleasent mix of cockyness and smarm.

After walking over to greet them, the sponsor said something to the effect of, &quot;Sorry, looks like there arent any more seats -- bye.&quot;

Nnothing against CG himself as the sponsor&#039;s words just served to reinforce my admittedly negative impression, but I would have appreciated chatting further and perhaps a suggestion on CG&#039;s part of &quot;let&#039;s ask if we can move to one of the larger open tables.&quot; As the other attendee said, it felt as though we were crashing a date rather than showing up to an announced event.]]></description>

You have seen the other side of blogging and are able to relate much better than i do. All i think is if i wouldn&#039;t suggest something for my close family members, i wouldn&#039;t be suggesting it for my millions of brothers and sisters in this country. I agree it is business and i don&#039;t know why this is coming to my mind - no i dont want to put it - but my hands are jut all over my iPad&#039;s keyboard - prostitution is the oldest business in this world. Oh come on, my ipad has gone crazy. No, i didn&#039;t want to put it there. It was my ipad. 

I really wonder how you are able to add so much humour to your posts and responses. You have just mastered the art of blogging, i must say. Keep it rocking as usual and thanks for your response. It was informative, inspiring and entertaining - in that order - for a change:). God bless.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Just want to chime in that I too find the Spend! Spend! Spend! mantra so tiresome. 

Yes, there are some good AMEX sync offers, but don&#039;t use them unless you truly need to buy something at the store with the latest offer. Sure, you can get a million X for Mother&#039;s Day flowers, but maybe mom would prefer something else and you can get flowers for much less elsewhere. Yup, we can now order GCs online at Staples, but do you really need more miles? And what will you do if WM changes the BB/MO routine? 

I think Milenomics has it exactly right - do a demand schedule, add in some points/miles/cashback for emergencies and unexpected trips, and be done. 

Now, to take my own advice ;) !!]]></description>
