This New York trip was sure interesting. I accompanied Bernd from CGS Germany for training at one of our important customers. I also got to meet Claudia, Bernd’s wife… but more importantly, I got to meet my snowboard heroine, Victoria Jealouse. One of the more enjoyable in-flight conversations I’ve had in a long time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In NYC there are sculptures of\u00a0cows<\/a>\u00a0all over. Seems strange since nobody could tell me what they are really there for, or what they symbolize… At least if it was Chicago it\u00a0could<\/em>\u00a0represent the fire that burned the whole city down.. But New York and cows…? Strange…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On my flight back to Minneapolis, I glanced back and saw this girl… Hmmm she sure looks familiar. I couldn’t figure it out until I saw all her luggage – all by Burton, the leading snowboard manufacturer… It’s… it’s… it’s… Victoria Jealouse! For those who don’t snowboard, check out the following links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary of the usual “real-life” personalities of celebrities, Victoria is a really cool and friendly person. By the way Victoria send me e-mail so I can send you that “magic potion” for hangovers (promise NOT to be snake oil!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
