Have you ever wondered how you receive your fast food so fast? Honestly, I’ve never given it a second thought. All I know is that I turn into a five-year-old who’s been denied a toy when my food takes longer than two minutes.

It’s baseball season, my favorite season. My favorite team is the Tampa Bay Rays. When I’m not watching the Rays, I’ll even attend an occasional softball game.

I hope you can recall a blog post titled ” New Year’s Trade Promotion Resolution” that was posted this past January. I stated that one of my 2011 resolutions was to run a race where proceeds would go to a good cause. I also drew up similarities between making the commitment to train for a marathon and committing to a trade promotion management provider.
I’m happy to announce that this past Saturday, May 14th 2011, I followed through with the resolution to run for a good cause. I was joined by three “Answers” ites (including one family member...
