Last week I flew to the Quad Cities (Davenport and Betten?dorf, Iowa, and Rock Island and Moline, Ill.) for my January Midwest Free Community Papers board meetings.
In the past I have driven, but this time, because of the distance, the chance of bad driving conditions at this time of year and a cheap plane ticket, it was less expensive to fly there.
Everything was going fine until the first morning I was there. I took my shower and then reached for my hairbrush?but there wasn?t one. Have you ever combed your hair with a toothbrush?

Super Bowl XLIII is now history, and it was one of the better games I have seen?and I?ve seen them all.

Another way we are trying to help local businesses is by offering free seminars about thriving in tough times, plus a trade show highlighting businesses that offer services businesses might need, at our Buyer?s Edge Biz Expo coming Feb. 12 at Bethel?s Memorial Hall.
I call it honest information on Abe Lincoln?s 200th birthday at no cost. All one has to do is register and attend.

It?s been in the news that the U.S. Postal Service is losing billions of dollars annually and is considering dropping one day of mail service per week. This isn?t a new idea.
The days being considered now for no delivery are Tuesdays or Saturdays. Seems to me the least disruptive day, if necessary, would be Saturday.
