I feel like a big ass truck ran over me last night. Which is to say I really hate coming down with a cold or the flu.Other than the infrequent heart attack and a wretched stroke i seldom get sick.
Today is the exception. I"m awash in heavy metal llozenges and chugging patent medicine cold/flue remedies like a slack jawed yokel at convention of snake oil salesmen. The truth: right now i'd try anything to feel better, but I hope I'm on the down hill side of symptoms that have robbed me of my humor and willingness to do anything more strenuous than put a DVD in my bedroom television and rest for a couple of hours.
The really good news is that I'll be bright eyed and bush-tailed when at Demo next week. For me going to Demo is much more than staying touch with old friends. It's about seeing new technologies that will influence the entrepreneurial economy in the coming 12 months.
Demo events held during economic downturns are among my personal favorite events. It's when you get to see the most dedicated companies that have already shed excess weight and are in prime condition. And that summarizes what I expect to see next week in Palm Desert.
Enough, already, I'm whipped. A DVD and nap with an old cat awaits.--Jim Forbes on 02/25/2009.
