I spent most of Tuesday with Arch Avary and had a very pleasant visit. We discussed several things about our expanding web businesses and some plans for the future. While there, I saw something I've never seen before and just have to tell you about it. Have you ever seen the big screws (that look like giant corkscrews) used to mix paint? Well, Arch was ready for lunch and one of his visitors wanted a peanut butter sandwich. Arch buys the kind with non-hydrogenated oils, so it needs to be mixed before serving. Yep, you're on the right track! I actually watched someone use an electric hand drill with one of those big screws to mix that jar of peanut butter! By the way, if you try this at home, it works much better if you run the drill in reverse. And, by running it in reverse and holding the screw to the slice of bread, you can easily transfer the peanut butter to your sandwich. If I hadn't seen it for myself, I don't think I would have believed it. Never underestimate the creative mind. ** JD **   10:46:07 AM

Since Wednesday, I've been a sick boy. Thursday morning, I woke up and could barely speak, but I'm feeling much better today. So, it's back to work time. ** JD **   10:37:39 AM
