Amy and I invited the bookstore staff over to the house today. It was our monthly staff meeting, however, we haven't met since January. It's been a little busy on the other fronts...
The great thing about the bookstore is that they are always solid. January was very weak, but once we worked out the post-Christmas blues the bookstore has met every expectation. I think the frontlist offerings have been weak first quarter 2007. There really has not been that super-HOT book or CD that everyone has to have. My best-selling item is the movie "FACING THE GIANTS" and second best-selling item is another movie "ONE NIGHT WITH A KING" based on the novel "HADASSAH". Crazy that movies are selling better than books... not really sure what that is telling me. It'll be interesting to see if the pattern will hold.
There will be some changes coming... we're adjusting the management structure, and giving the employees more responsibility. They have always proven to me that they can handle what's given to them. So, why not give them more!
In addition to planning for the future and discussing policies.... we got to play Nintendo WII too! I added a couple names to the list of "People I beat the crap out of..." in Wii Sports BOXING. I won't drop any names, but they know who they are...
I want a rematch. Seriously.

Come on out to San Luis Jeff, and I'll let you pound me in boxing only to smoke you in tennis! I do love me some Wii playing.
