Business Relevance

OK, Gina told me my posts have to be at least somewhat relevant to her business. So, a quick update on the world of Gina Clary Photography. I am trying to get the new office complete as quickly as possible (allowing lots of time for considerably lengthy breaks, of course). Next time you come to the studio, drop a hint with something to the effect of, "Wow, your new office looks amazing! Did Bob Vila do this?!?!" Also, Gina is in the process of developing her new fancy website. It looks pretty great. Hopefully it will be up and running soon.

Also related to the business is the fact that I really need to get the office/studio finished in the next week since baseball season is about to start and that will, of course, require three hour breaks when the Astros are playing. I am excited about the upcoming season, if we can just get a nice surprise from a few of our starters, we could contend for a division title.

Speaking of business relevance, what is going on with this recession? I am curious to see what, if any, impact this has on Gina's business. I do have an idea, though. As you may already be aware, many of us will be getting checks from the IRS where they are giving us back some of the money we paid in previously (the economic stimulus package). I would suggest that you invest in some high quality pictures of your family (the value of this investment in the future will be priceless, of course). This will spur the economy as intended, as Gina will take your money and go buy some new flooring (or restart the conversation about adding that second floor to the house over the garage...don't get me started). This way we can all help pull the economy out of the doldrums it is currently in. This will in turn, drive up stock prices helping our 401(k) plans and all our other investments to get us back into the black.

Also, did you know that you weigh about 0.5% less at the equator than at the north pole? How weird is that? I guess weight fluctuation is a small price to pay for not getting flung into outer space at 1,000 m.p.h. due to the rotation of the earth launching you jai alai style. Oh, and wouldn't that be an award-winning picture?! See it all comes back to photography.

As always, thanks for reading ~ Mark
