There are certain things grandparents remember that no one else does, which adds so much richness to life. Jackie, I can just imagine how your dad felt, and how you felt about him.

At his graduation I went off wandering and got chatting to fellow proud parents - as you do. I told them what my son intended to do ( website design being one of his specialisms - watch this space for a new style on my own site!)and each one asked for his card. Now it is one thing carrying your own business cards - quite another having a set of his "just in case". My Dad was with me so he fished my son's card out of his wallet and proudly presented it. I was so moved ( actually I am filling up as I write this). But - that young man needs to read this post! I will be sending him a link!!!

I used to leave business cards everywhere. In waiting areas, cafes - even in restaurant bill holders when I was paying. They're so cheap and you never know when folk might be looking for what you have to offer.

That's my experience in many areas. And, that's the reason for your post! ;-) Brad, as soon as you have it down pat, think again. That’s my experience in many areas.

Golf is a metaphor for life on many levels. One of the problems with golf is there are so many basics to remember. (I generally remember about half every time I swing, but it's never the same grouping.) Do you think life is like that? Are there many basics, or few? Hmm ... Hi Robyn, Very true!

Every time I play golf I am reminded of how important basics are. This summer, I wanted to refresh my game and took a lesson. Well, it seems some basics, like making sure I was following through and facing the flag [target] at the end of the shot, had slipped away somewhere. I find that one extremely important in many settings. :-) Brad, this is so true and I have forgotten my business cards on more than one occasion.
