Wish me luck–Dave McCann and Rob Carey, both from Meetings News, will be joining me and host Bill Wulff on MeetingsRadio next Wednesday. We’ll be talking about customer service (Bill asked me to participate after reading Customer service or lack thereof earlier this week), and all the fees and gratuities that have been proliferating like proverbial bunnies in spring. Should be interesting–I don’t know Rob, but I have had a few conversations with Dave and have a lot of respect for him. It should be interesting, to say the least!

Someone sent me a bunch of cat haikus this morning, and this one had me laughing out loud:

So you want to play.

Will I claw at dancing string?

Your ankle’s closer.

I think my cat Bob, who has been gone for a while  now, must have penned that one.

Oh, this is just too funny: From the Vail Times: Thromboembolectomy. A quick snip:

am yet again sitting in such a meeting, right this moment, typing this as it happens, and the doctor speaking has just used his laser pointer to indicate an MRI of the “Circle of Willis.”

Now, “Circle of Willis” is an anatomical term – I know this because of the context – but that’s all I can tell you about it.

I also have wireless internet access at this meeting. I could Google “Circle of Willis” right now and figure out which part of the body he’s talking about. Could be the knee. Could be the brain. I really don’t know.

And I don’t want to know, because that would ruin everything.

Because if I actually started learning things, then all the magic would be gone. As it is, every time the doctor says “Circle of Willis,” which is about every two minutes, I think exactly what you are thinking right now:

“Wha’ choo talkin’ bout, Willis?”

If I were there with him, I’d probably be doing the same thing.
