Carnival Approaches
They call this a ‘Bloco’ and they are practicing for Carnival which this year starts on Friday March 1st and goes on until Ash Wednesday on March 6th.
My wife and I were out enjoying the morning sunshine and taking some exercise when we came across this happy bunch of people practicing their music and songs in typical Brazilian fashion. The beat of the Samba on the drums is unmistakable.
Everyone knows about the world-famous carnival in Rio, where I live just cannot compare to that, (can anything) but we all have a good time, probably due to the amount of alcohol drunk along the way!
Well the excuse is that there are 40 days of lent after carnival until Easter but I have yet to see much abstinence!

Finding the Needle in the Haystack
Greetings and Salutations from Texas,
I am sure most are familiar with the expression of “searching for the needle in the haystack”. This installment of the blog is going to help you find that elusive needle. The needle I am alluding to is “more sales” and “more customers”. Sales and customers not only drive business, but keep business in the business of being in business.
