Morning!
Wishing you a great Monday. Not a nice day. I think I’ve outgrown nice days, as George Carlin said.
In personal news, I vomited last night for unexplained reasons and I wrote a how-to article for PR Daily last week, a publication for PR practitioners.

#1

#2
Never do this:

Care to send the newsletter?
How about you and I meeting up?
