Tales from the Arizonan desert

So one of the other meeting planners hear overheard my cell phone ring, which happens to be Ministry's "Every Day is Halloween" and said, "Hey! Ministry" I was surprised she recognized because she just didn't look like the Ministry type - very well put together and Ann Taylorish, in a young and sassy way. I have a terrible habit of judging books by their covers, and I'm so often wrong - I really need to quit doing that. Anyhow, turns out she knew it because her former step-father was a member of Ministry. So that was kind of cool.

She also arranged a very cool outing last night to a few luxury homes (in the $10 million range) where the owners (one was a dot com millionaire) are never there, so they rent them out for corporate events. These places were absolutely incredible - set on the upper side of a red rock mountain in the desert, with an incredible view, often working the rock into the design, with 12,000 square feet and many MANY flat screened TVs. I try not to be materialistic, but it really wouldn't suck to be that rich.

And turning to politics...

Sometimes political cartoons hit the nail on the head...
