Friday’s a Day to Make Someone’s Day

I made Larry Parnass‘ day today when I called him with a plum assignment: travel to Switzerland and write a story for GoNOMAD. I think he’s going to enjoy the trip, and the tourism board was pleased to hear we could send a writer and publish a story on GoNOMAD. He is an editor at the Gazette in Northampton.

I corresponded with an author today, and mistakenly sent him an email intended to be sent to my associate editor, Steve. It was about our pay rates, the message was not a secret. The author told me that after his article was published on GoNOMAD he got a call from a Greek Tourism website. He got hired to write for them.

We love making these kinds of connections–that is what makes running a website and cafe so much fun. Looking forward to a busy weekend with lots of highlights: our Circulo Italiano Club picnic, some outdoor theater in Ashfield, and visiting relatives.
