Hey there!

Well, thanks to my web guy, Michael Owens, I now have a "journal". Readers beware. There's no way of knowing what's going to come out of my speedy, stubby, little typing fingers. For example, did you know that Charlotte is such a small city that I've been here 6 1/2 months and when I go to networking functions I know at least 10% of the people? (Make it 12% if they're wearing name tags.)

Now, small is not a bad thing. Well, maybe it is. Any little indiscretion spreads like wild fire. But then again, me, indiscreet? Yes, very indiscreet. I'm trying not to be. I'm trying hard not to gossip. Trying to be business like. Trying to sell ads and keep the personal, personal and the business, business. But sometimes....I slip. I'm tempted to share some of my indiscretions with you, but that will make it even worse if I'm stupid enough to put them in writing!

So, I'm off to a meeting with Parks & Rec about volunteering for Bark in the Park which will take place 4/22.

And also, if you're reading this, SAVE THE DATE! Thursday, May 18, 2006, 6-9 pm. Cats & Dogs of Charlotte Magazine Launch Party at Metro-Paws, 2029 S. Tryon. Bring your dog (must be well behaved, on-leash, socialized and vaccinated)! Door prizes, dancing, photography exhibit. Canine Frisbee demonstration at 7:00 pm. Tons of fun!

Until next time, I remain, Sara Abrams, your faithful publishing magnate, founder of the next publishing empire, with two magazines to-date: The MECK and Cats & Dogs of Charlotte. Articles accepted, ADS REQUESTED, please keep in touch.
