Starbucks: Real estate savvy gone bad – Top Stocks

Starbucks: Real estate savvy gone bad – Top Stocks.

“My” Starbucks is not closing–it’s about one block from my job, and it’s a quick way to get some coffee late morning or early afternoon when my energy starts to fall into a puddle around my feet.

Downtown Seattle has a Starbucks about every three blocks, but I didn’t see any of these stores on the closure list.

That’s because downtown Seattle is fueled by caffeine!

TTFN!





Vacation, jet lag, and another trip

11 06 2008

Life is amazing sometimes.

Always, I guess.

Yesterday I got home from my first real vacation in years.

And next week I will be spending two days in Washington, D.C. for a conference. My employer asked me to attend and be part of an expert panel.

Wow.

I will be putting in some extra work time this week, since I will be gone for four days next week.

My blogging will be sporadic this week, because I need to put in some extra hours on the job.

But that’s just fine, because I’m so excited to be part of a very special conference.

On my vacation, I flew from the west coast to the Midwest–two time zones, and I’m still really tired tonight.

Next week, I will be flying from the west coast to the east coast on Monday, then flying back on Wednesday! And I’m taking Thursday off to recuperate.

Anyhoo, here’s a good article from The Mayo Clinic.

It’s about jet lag.

It’s now 7:37 pm, and it’s time for me to crash.

TTFN
