Since my last blog post, I've pitched a major piece of business, spent a couple of weeks in Jamaica, a few days in Banff, a week in Dusseldorf, traveled to Vancouver and back eight or nine times, to Montreal and back about as much, started up a couple of new companies... and got married somewhere in there.

All of which is to say that I was feeling pretty comfortable with the idea that I had a solid excuse for letting the blog slide a bit.

But then Jens Thraenhart and company got the bright idea to publish a book of tourism-related blog posts to mark the ongoing evolution of the T-List and the launch of Canada-e-Connect, Canada's e-tourism Strategy Conference.  Jens was kind enough to suggest I submit a few of my ramblings for consideration and I, in turn, agreed to feel really guilty about not updating the blog.

Over the next week, I'm determined to get caught up on the notes and half-baked ideas that have been floating about through the chaos of the last few months. 

There.  It's on the internet so it must be true.
