Smart, Innovative & Inexpensive Marketing

I have a confession:  there’s a bit of computer geek in me. 

In high school I took computer language courses in BASIC, FORTRAN, and PASCAL.

In college, I worked at the campus computer center.  My job entailed collecting 10 cents per page printed and rebooting our enormous mainframe computer when it crashed during high usage periods (mid-terms and finals).

When the system crashed, a less pleasant part of my job was to tell some seniors that yes, unfortunately, the 10 pages of thesis they had just spent 6 hours writing were really gone if they hadn’t acted to save them.

I love my mother-in-law, Elanaah.  And not just out of obligation.  We get along great because we respect and trust each other.  Our mutual respect comes from years of being straightforward and truthful with each other.

Based on this trust, I have occasionally sought Elanaah’s advice.

Elanaah is a parenting expert, with particular emphasis on the early childhood years.  Not every woman would welcome this feature in a mother-in-law, but I have found her consultations helpful and reassuring.  And she has never forced advice on us.  Her lauding our parenting skills on occasion feels like an extra strong endorsement given her expertise.
