Happy Feb 14
Maxine Clark, Founder and CEO of Build-a-Bear, came to speak at Retailing class last week. I did my best to get Tiffany out to hear Maxine, since I expected it would be a great talk. Tiffany had a number of lame excuses, and she ended up not coming.
Yesterday was, of course, St. Valentine's Day, where Tiffany gave me a Build-a-Bear. "While you were out hearing the Build-a-Bear CEO, I was at the Build-a-Bear making you this present," she explained. I won't ever again doubt a lame excuse.
Meanwhile, I remember spending Valentine's Day 2004 visiting Auschwitz, the death camp in Poland. I met a young woman from Wisconsin there, but nothing came of it. I thought it would be funny if our how-we-met story was, "we met on Valentine's Day... in Auschwitz death camp."
The previous year's Valentine's Day was in Luang Prabang, Lao Peoples' Democratic Republic. It was quite romantic for a communist country. Below is a view over the Mekong River.
