Two Words: Sweet Corn

This is too funny but it needs a little explanation.

My son & I were driving on Highway 199 from Crescent City to Grants Pass, taking him to his new home in Portland. Shortly after crossing the Oregon border, we see this sign (which is the same on both sides). OK, it's obviously a misspelling of the words "Sweet Corn," which is being sold across the highway from this sign (with a correctly spelled sign). However, what I think makes this so funny is that I can imagine someone spending all this time and energy painting both sides of the sign (which he obviously did with care and attention to detail), then standing up to take a look at it, and suddenly realizing his error.

Feeling embarrassed, tired, and somewhat stupid, he was not trying to decide whether or not to re-do the whole project, and decided "WTF. I'm not going to do it all over." And just posted the thing for all to see.

Two Words: Portland Oregon

I'm moving my son Brandon to Portland, OR. It's a bittersweet trip; lots of time in the car on the way up here,  but I'm driving home alone. However, after 5 1/2 years, he's moving in with his long term girlfriend. I went out to dinner with them; they're very excited. I'm so happy for them. It makes it worthwhile. They're a great couple.

As always, wherever I stay, I post a photo of the hotel. Here's the Radisson at the Portland Airport. Pretty nice.

About

To order a copy of the magazine or to read more about it, please visit
scottqmarcus.magcloud.com

Scott “Q” Marcus, founder, publisher, and editor of Two Words magazine has a three-decade career in the media as a DJ, talk show host, Music Director, Program Director, Operations Director and later: sales manager, station manager, and general manager of various radio and TV stations. He also produces marketing seminars at www.HumboldtMarketingSeminar.com and is a sales and marketing consultant for the Northcoast Small Business Development Center.

Two Words magazine is associated with http://www.LongDistanceMarketing.com, his blog about all things marketing. The magazine is a creative, literary piece designed to uplift and inspire its readers. It is comprised of several articles, written by various people. Each issue is dedicated to a two-word theme (hence the clever title, huh?) If you would like to submit to Two Words magazine, please visit www.TwoWordsMagazine.com and read the submission standards.

Scott Q's Background:
In 1994, Scott lost 70 pounds and became a THINspirational Speaker (and recovering perfectionist). He now helps individuals and organizations overcome procrastination and perfectionism to be happier, healthier, and more productive. He is the past president of the Northern California chapter of the National Speakers Association, a Weight Watchers Diamond Leader, and a syndicated columnist with three books (at www.CompletelyInspired.com )

His presentations are described as “a cross between Business 101, Group Therapy and a Southern Revival.” He strongly suggests that in order to get the most of his presentation, you put your left-brain on hold.
Finally, although he has lost a great deal of weight and is a Weight Watchers leader, he is not a “food cop.” He will not watch what you eat if you do not watch what he eats. (Although he might be persuaded to do a seminar in your city in exchange for Chocolate or French Fries.)
