Ahhhhh....the glamour of business travel. Eating peanuts and drinking stale coffee on a 6 a.m. flight to New Orleans is enough to drive home the sarcasm.

BUT there are a couple of things that put the “cream” in the before-mentioned java this particular morning:

1) We’re headed to The Big Easy for a potentially incredible social media campaign with the Athletics Department at Tulane University. (check out our microsite here)

2) We found some poignant articles in the seatback pocket (thanks, Spirit Magazine). Here are two articles we thought we’d share:

• “Clash Course....Rise above the conflict and implement winning solutions at work”

• “Hear, Hear...How the best companies are succeeding by listening”

And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the recipe for “Pineapple-Cilantro Ice Pops...adding herb appeal to a fruity, frozen treat.”
