Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I promised our countless Blogenberg readers that, “If it’s Tuesday, it’s Blogenberg.� And yesterday was Tuesday and there was no Blogenberg. Hence, another lesson about running a small business: I was exhausted.

We had a quote due to a federal agency by 10 a.m. Monday. I worked Sunday until 11 pm and then started Monday at 2 a.m., not knocking off until 5 pm Monday. And I’m now too old to recover from what was, essentially, an all nighter, so quickly. (Not to mention I was already worn out from moving my oldest son home for the summer from college – 4 flights of stairs, no elevator!) So it was a Tuesday without a Blogenberg.

But I can report that we put together a very good proposal.

I can also report that we’ve just landed an important Word of Mouth Public Relations (WOMPR) project from a federal agency. We’re going to record and videotape much of the process, as we’re convinced it’s pretty cutting edge and a great learning opportunity. I’ll report more on this in a future Blogenberg.

By the way, a number of people told me they enjoyed my last Blogenberg recounting my 13-year-old daughter’s sleepover. Yesterday she ran in the county 800-meter championships. She was leading until the very end, when another girl started to catch her. My daughter didn’t see her. I wanted to yell. I did not. I figured she’d rather come in second than have her father embarrass her by yelling out. She did, indeed, come in second by a nose. She was mad about not winning. She asked why I didn’t yell to let her know another runner was coming up. She got silver. I can’t win.
