Thanks to Jason DeRusha from WCCO-TV in Minneapolis for posing the question:
Is a texted thank you as good as getting a card?
My personal favorite is the guy immediately after web viewer Maria’s (make me cringe) response.

“This is called the Microsoft Surface…. It’s like having a giant iPod where you can play video and all kinds of stuff and get information on the side!”
That would be the iPod by Apple.
Pepcid, Bill Gates is calling.

The original plan for Christmas week included a drive to Nebraska, where my family lives. Departure was set for tomorrow morning, giving me today to finish laundry, packing, and wrapping.
So of course, Mother Nature just stepped in and turned that plan upside down.
As of now, looks like I may be taking off today, which means quiet time on the blog. If possible, I’ll post from Lincoln, but that’s contingent on Grandma’s internet access being back online. Next opportunity might not be until New Year’s, upon returning home.
In the meantime, hang in there everyone. You’ve been through one hell of a holiday season, and have earned more than a little down time. The next chapter, post-holiday, will be equally interesting. Together, we’ll look at the trends and figure out the path.
Well, you found me. I’m tinkering around in here, trying to build a better home for the Always Upward blog. Whether or not this little endeavor is successful, however, is unknown; I’m quickly finding there’s a lot I know–and a lot I don’t–about working with someone else’s php code.
In the meantime, please continue to follow the blog at its current location:

As soon as the roof is up and the pictures are hung, I’ll let you know it’s time to move in.
