Tony,
thanks. I agree, fake discounts suck in a lot of ways. This discount is real and the folks taking advantage of it really understood the value of it. I'll get more add-on sales as a result. But the PR value was tremendous and people truly appreciated someone offering them a deal for multiple wins.

The Sieger Show ended up at 7 p.m. in failing light and cold, windy, rainy conditions. We still managed to get over 25 formals plus ring candids so it was a good day from a business perspective. Right now, I'm cold, tired and can't wait to get some sleep. Tomorrow it's off to Estes Park for something very different -- the mountains and maybe a horseback ride. Can't wait! BTW, we've been traveling with Sundance (135 lbs.) and Max (132 lbs.) and they have been incredible companions. Not one disparaging word and lots of ear-licks. We could not be happier with the two of them. At night, Sundance sleeps with Linda and Max sleeps with me. Max's owners will not be happy when he comes back home . Time for some fun. I'll report about it in detail later.

Jim
