Despite the spike in gas prices and what seems to be a never ending stream of international crises, we remain in a good economy; or, maybe it's not *that* great but marketers realize their dollars go way further with a PR program than they do with advertising or other forms of direct marketing, or it could be a combination of the two. Consultant friends of ours are doing well also...whatever the case things look good right now for the industry at large, with some exceptions. (hat tip to Dave).
Now back to populating this site again.
