It's Kind of Quiet
This week and last have been pretty dead from a sales activity POV. I am getting queries - last week I spoke with 5 $billion firms - but the pace of correspondence is very laid-back. Many decisions are being run back to the beginning of August. Still I'm getting a good amount work done in preparation for a hopefully busier fall. Right now working on a mailing for mid-size Ontario firms.
Congratulations to Lynne and Andrew who are likely to close on the purchase of their first home today. A momentous day indeed. Ah... the lure of Hamilton... to Hamiltonians. The new place looks very nice.
The Former LFC Players website isn't going anywhere fast these days... the executive of the former players are to meet with the Liverpoolfc.tv team August 5th and I'm not too happy about the fact that we can't seem to get a better level of dialogue with the Executive. Most frustrating is that although the .tv crew should have some excellent resources, I just can't believe that they can properly address the needs of the Former Players. Also, I'm not convinced that it is in the best interest of the LFPA to link themselves so closely with the .tv site.
Boxing last night was brutal - I was totally wiped out. The Indian buffet lunch definitely didn't help (I won't do _that_ again) and the heat was terrible. Despite a 15-minute cool down and ice-cold shower, I was still sweating profusely half-an-hour later. My heart rate was right in the target zone - 150 - so I guess I wasn't in danger of a heart-attack.
Molson and Coors today announced that they are planning to merge - Coors is the senior partner. It's not too surprising I guess as there have worldwide been so many mergers in the brewing industry. Canada's major brewers are renown for their screw-ups in investment - Beaver Lumber anyone? - and definitely have not been able to successfully navigate changing tastes in recent decades. I understand that Molson's Marca Bavaria purchase was been a disaster from a channel management POV.
Alas, no more major Canadian brewers. (Canada's No.1 beer is Bud)
Found my keys. Grr.
