2016 is off to good start, and I'm grateful

January lifted off with a bang. An unexpected promotion. One person moved out of my house. A close friend moved in from Houston. Then he moved out. Regional sales conference. District sales training. First flight of the year. Unexpected limousine ride. Landed our best interview ever. New energy customers. And a trip to Washington DC coming up in a few weeks.  Not everything has been great. My son still decides to act an ass when he sees fit. It's getting better, but we still have a lot of work to do.

4 Hacks For Cheaper Air Travel

Now as promised, I said there would be a part two to my previous post and I’m staying true to my word. But there will also be a part three.  It was getting to be kind of long and I was adding more information so I’ll spare you a 500 page post.  Okay not that long but still.  Besides the human attention span is 4 seconds shorter than a goldfish.  Sad. I firmly believe everyone should step beyond their front door and see the world or at least different parts of the country.  We could probably have a better understanding of other cultures and races if we just took time to explore and not stayed in the comforts of home.
