Mayor of the grocery store

It is Friday and Fridays are for fun.  This photo was taken last Saturday in San Diego where I attended the National Association of Realtors conference and spoke on a panel.

As you can see from the photo it wasn't really a vacation.  I have never been to San Diego before. It was nice to see my friends and be in such a lovely place. I spent a day and most of a night taking pictures.I may have gone some other places and done some other things too but no one wants to read about that.

Then I came back home, where I work a zillion hours a week and for excitement I go to the grocery store. I have been using foursquare, it is like a game where players check in by text message or via smart phone when they go out and have fun.

The person who has the most check-ins in a single location becomes the mayor of that venue. Yup you guessed it, I am the mayor of the local super market, Cooper's Supervalue on W7th street.  I am also the mayor of coopers supervalue, also on W7th street. Funny after all these years I never noticed that there are two grocery stores at the same address with similar names. I need to slow down and pay more attention, maybe I have been working too hard.Erik Hare thinks I should take advantage of my mayor ship and in Erik speak "affect meaningful change". 

My apologies if I was slow to answer your phone calls last weekend. I think I got sand in my blackberry.  I will be around this weekend. Working and getting ready for that all important thanksgiving dinner.   It is nice to have the photos so I can remind myself that there is more to life than being the mayor of the local grocery stores.
