From the offices of the Richest man in the World

Writing from the road again, this time from Mexico City.

One of my clients required an on-site, so here I am. The real quirk in this, my virginal visit to the federal district, is that I had a machine gun pointed at me this morning. The office clamped down on security because Hector Slim, nephew of Carlos, was in the office today.

The trip proved to be successful. Looks like we're going to sell a whole lot of work. Good for us, good for them. Should be a good celebration tonight, both in closing this deal and the holiday.

However I'm leaving for NYC tonight, missing out on Cinco de Mayo in country...

My consolation is that no one in Mexico celebrates Cinco de Mayo. Mexican independence day is on 15 September.

The real reason for writing: today in the US house of Representatives, the Esophageal Cancer awareness month resolution should be proposed by Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL). Big step forward for the team at ECAA!

Much happier about my news re: congress than work.
