Someone once said, "If you cannot put your idea on the back of a business card, you do not have a clear idea." I like this philosophy and so designed business cards with my idea on the back. Would you like to see a card? Contact me and I will be glad to send you one - my compliments.

The IBD MeetingSofia, Bulgaria 2011

In October, we traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria, for the International Board Meeting. We arrived a week early so we could explore the city and environs. The transportation system was easy, after we learned a few Cyrillic alphabet patterns and it was inexpensive too. That first week we stayed in the Hotel California - yes, and we were allowed to leave...eventually. Our room had stars on the ceiling, a jacuzzi in the bathroom, and plenty of space for our clothes. Despite the crumbling infrastructure - sidewalks were treacherous for walking, giant potholes in the streets, and many dilapidated buildings - we enjoyed the city excursions. At the meeting location - Hotel Kempinski, 5 stars! - I had meetings to attend but the local had planned wonderful evening events for us. Truly spectacular.

See my E-Letter column for more description.

I sincerely hope I may continue to represent our American Mensa group globally!
