I just got a call that started, “You guys still do those pony rides?”
Pardon me?
“Yeah, I got your name off the computer. I’m having a bunch of kids coming over to my house on Sunday, and we’d like to use your pony rides and that Wild West thing you have.”
Sorry…we have a communication consulting company. Maybe we could come over and teach the kids about how to write in the active voice, or maybe we could talk about selecting media in the internet age.

It was a no go. But it made me laugh. There are some days when it’d be cool to be the guy who provides pony rides to kids on the weekends. My job: Provide pony rides to the big kids in corporations. I think I’ll stick with that for a bit. And if all else fails, I now have a backup position.

Frank,
And…the guy with the ponies probably gets more respect (ref your previous posting)!

Ron, and I’d be a lot more popular with the neighborhood kids!
