I hope your Summer kick-off weekend was exactly what you wanted. For me it included a bit of everything: time in the garden, doing weekend chores, visiting the pool, time with family and some catch up work, of course.
However, I cannot get the images of tornado-ravaged Joplin out of my mind--and how even there, in the midst of unimaginable sadness, loss and disconnection, the US flags are posted in the rubble, hanging from whatever supports could be found.
Our US spirit is being called to reenergize this county, support our fellow citizens and embrace the caring, honorable people we are at heart. Let's get past the red, blue and tea labels and instead work together to acknowledge where we are and create solutions that will build a place our children will call home.
So that we remember why we are the US, let me take you to a special place--take a few minutes now to think about how it all started, with Memorial Day being the one day out of the year for us to remember, reflect and honor those who have given their life in service to their country.
Here's to our success!

Life in the Travel Lane
Greetings!
Life in the travel lane has me bearing witness to a number of recent events:
1. Kansas City was a great host to the DOE Small Business Conference. We'll let you know when the videos and PPTs are posted; many of the sessions were just GREAT!
2. A door to a $6.5 million opportunity opened because of real, honest-to-God networking at an informal breakfast with a CO and a contractor. It never would have happened without a great "elevator pitch" and a CO willing to listen. Stay tuned for more updates as the opp develops.
3. The blue vans that are supposed to be dependable transportation, unfortunately, were not (at least for me and another intrepid traveler), and very poor customer service made me want to tell you-so hopefully at 4:30 in the morning, you won't be left w/o transportation to the airport!
We have much more coming up-if you are in construction, dial in to our teleconference later this week for an update of construction opportunities with the military and federal agencies throughout the US. And, if you are in Virginia this Wednesday, come by the Inspirity session for a quick "How to Guarantee a Decision Maker Meeting" and two other timely presentations designed to help you Position Yourself to Win!
Here's to your success!
