I’m in Washington D.C. today, attending the Small Business Summit sponsored by NFIB and eBay. For those of you who help produce events, you may find the media-gallery we’re producing of interest.

My husband was sick at the end of last week with some kind of flu-like bug. I pushed him to get up and run, though, since in my book, if it doesn't affect the legs, dress out and see how far you can go. Poor guy... He would have done better with a more sympathetic wife.
