This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 4/6

Just a quick one today. No pictures. No talking. Nothing but calendars.

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but I've been extremely busy with work, which is a very good thing. Just so you know, a lot of this work has come to me because I've been out networking. Much of it comes through people I first met in the Summer or Fall of last year, or even earlier, so it takes time to build a relationship of trust. You have to keep networking, too, to keep yourself top-of-mind with your contacts.

The Chinese believe that Spring is the time for planning and decision making. This is the time to be planting seeds in anticipation of the Fall harvest. If you don't plant seeds now, you won't have a harvest come Fall.

So, maybe there was a little talking....
