It’s crunch time with the shows starting next week but the good news is that several reputable sources are suggesting consumer confidence is on the mend. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that fair winds prevail. Between MAGIC and kid’s returning to school (where did summer go?) I imagine traffic will be slow next week. I think we should do something fun while everyone is off attending to business. Ideas? I’ve been obsessing over grading this week and wouldn’t mind a break myself.
Speaking of fun or rather not-fun, I wasn’t surprised that Thursday’s entries on SKU’s and UPC codes weren’t a rousing success, failing to garner accolades and commentary. Worse, it’s more likely you’ll be dismayed rather than delighted to know there’s two more on the docket. Yippee! Oh well. I do know the entries will come in handy at some point.
As ever, there’s more in the archives if you find yourself with a lot of time on your hands. Have a great week end.

Actually the SKU/UPC series is very timely. I was just talking to someone about it this week and I forwarded the links to the series. I know they will come in handy and I plan on printing them off and filing them to keep.

Kathleen,
I agree with Esther, the SKU/UPC code entries was exactly what I need to start on next and I plan on making copies and going through them again. I did read through everything and plan on buying the book. Do we have to go through the link on the page for you to get credit for it?It was very timely and very informative! Thank you!
