The Yellow River

Dear Friend,

Like I said, I'm in Dallas this week at Dan Kennedy's Information Marketing Seminar, so I won't be e-mailing
regular tips, but I thought I'd give you a quick update about my trip so far.

Let's just say I'm not what you'd call "a good flyer."

I've been known to upchuck once or twice, on bumpy flights and over rough seas (that's why I live on a lake and not an ocean).

So I'm on the plane flying over here from Tampa, sweating profusely.

We're sitting in Row 28, which is literally the next-to-last row, and I swear I have never felt like I was packed into tighter quarters in my life. These seats were so cramped they made New York City subway trains during rush hour, look like spacious lofts.

It felt like I had gone back to my elementary school and taken a seat in my old kindergarten classroom chairs -- you know the ones I'm talking about -- they're designed to fit
something the size of a teddy bear and that's about it.

I decided it was time to hit the john, what with me not feeling too well and it being just about the right time to get rid of those bottles of water I had polished off before
getting on board.

I'm in the mens's room doing my thing, when all of a sudden, the plane starts shuddering up and down as if King Kong was dribbling it like a little rubber ball.

Needless to say, I start peeing all over the place, and Lord knows I start feeling more nervous then a teenager watching TV to see if his number's going to be called for the draft.

My usually "totally in control" mind is about as out-of-control as you can get!

I start going back through my memory banks thinking about Anne and the kids, the day we got married, my favorite rock albums... you get the drift here.

Then things settle down, I clean up the mess (thank goodness I had dark jeans on), and I return to my seat, sour green complexion and all.

Of course we miss our connecting flight and the only thing they can do for us is stick us on another plane an hour later.

But THIS plane is more like a helicopter "plus" -- all 16 seats of it!

I don't even want to tell you about THAT flight.

Now go sell something,
