Good morning from the Sunport, Albuquerque’s cool futuristic name for their airport. This morning’s Boston Globe – "Today’s Business Cards Offer a New Edge" – Talks about my business chips. Validation is cool. This Sunday morning finds me headed home from Albuquerque to pet my cats, do a load of laundry, and get a few hours sleep.
