Super Bowl Recap (with corrected video)

I know it's kind of late, but here is a quick Super Bowl recap.  (plus a link to our halftime show that didn't work in the newsletter)

Highlight:  Volkswagon Darth Vader commercial
Lowlight:  National Anthem

Highlight:  It was a close game that went down to the end.
Lowlight:  That the game had to come to an end.

Highlight:  Super Bowl food!  Nachos, wings, etc.
Lowlight:  Having to work out twice as hard to burn it all off!

Highlight:  Our Halftime Show... not the one on TV...



My apologies as this link didn't work in the newsletter!

Feb 7th: Bungle the Business?

I was trying to think of some new ways to market our website and products.  We've tried some non-traditional, low cost options and have had some success.  (Amazon = excellent, eBay = okay, Etsy = not so good.)  Then, I was watching the start of the Super Bowl...

Grammy winning artist, Christina Aguilera, botches the national anthem. (It's not like this is the first time she has sung the anthem.)  I think botching our National Anthem is going to get her more publicity than if she had nailed it...  (Not that I would want to do something bad to get publicity for the business.)  Just sort of funny how that works.

By the way, if you bet on the National Anthem, I believe the over/under was 3 minutes 14 seconds. (One sportsbook clocked it at 3 min and 13.7 seconds.) Wow, those odds makers really know what they are doing. (Some books paid the over and some paid the under... it was that close.) Meanwhile, people on the losing side claim that their wager should be disqualified because Ms. Aguilera flubbed the song.
