I've been watching on DVD, from the Seattle library, the first season of Mad Men. This TV Show/Series is based on Advertising Guys set in early 1960's. It's getting a bunch of hype that is well deserved.
In an episode, the Advertising guys are going ga-ga over the real life 1960's series of ads about the Volkswagen Beetle. How the ads just tells the truth about the product which turns out to be marketing genius, if in fact you have a quality product -- which I believe we do.
But I've had better days on the job. Live and learn.
About a week ago, I told Carol to get on the stick or was it hop on the ball or was it to get on the ball and make her move to market/promote/sell these epilepsy pieces of Chinese Medicine, before these pieces looked like old tomatoes dying on the vine. She just listened without speaking. Not a good sign. Maybe she wasn't so gung-ho, because she knew something I wasn't aware of yet -- but was soon to learn.
I just posted the second piece in the epilepsy series and it is about as ancient history as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Oh well. She can push them next week or next year or ten years from now and they won't appear any more ancient than they looked to me a few minutes ago, when I finally posted them on the blog.
Carol and I do agree that if we ever over sell Chinese Medicine, we are as dead in the water as the Ford Pinto. It was right around Pinto's un-heyday, that I wrote this second epilepsy piece.
Just dust off these upcoming epilepsy pieces. There's still some ancient wisdom to be found inside.
