The West Coast Comes Calling

Yes, consulting is a lonely, joyless and exhausting way of life, fraught with peril, long hours, grueling assignments, and...hey, wait a minute, I think this is the wrong picture.

Marla Limousin and Chris Grosset in a bitter argument about utlization of secondary GPS Data in cultural mapping.

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming friend, colleague and associate Marla Limousin to corporate HQ. It was Marla's first visit to St. Crispin Towers, and her first meeting with many of our staff - a very odd encounter for some of us, who feel as though we've known her for years through the newsletter and our dozens of projects together.

As a consummately social person, Marla scrupulously observed the First Commandment of Good Guesthood, which, of course, is "Bring Wine." And this wine -as the bottles pictured above attest - was special indeed. Marla and husband George Ehrler operate Blue Moon Winery, a truly wondrous facility in Courtenay BC. Marla writes:

We just heard the results of the Northwest Wine Summit Wine Competition! There were over 1100 wines entered this year, and represent the best in the Pacific Northwest. We entered 11 wines and won 9 awards!! 2 golds - Orion and Singularity. 1 silver for Eclipse and 6 bronze for Aurora, Sundog, Soleil, Moonbeam, Dusk and Lunacy. I wish you could all taste them!

So do we, Marla. Come back soon, often, and bearing wine, and we'll do our best.
