good mood food


A cool photo of my son Tom last night at the Wolves game, posing with three distinguished members of the Timberwolves Dance Team. Have you ever seen Tom look happier?

And it was a beautiful evening as temperatures finally inched above freezing. We walked along Hennepin Avenue getting to the game, through the Hennepin Theater District, where I was amused by the marquees. First, there at the Orpheum Theater: Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith, Christian hipsters from the '80s. Then at the State, Boz Scaggs was appearing. Boz Scaggs was mostly in the '70s, a minor music figure I assumed, and I know so little about him that I was surprised that he could possibly have enough fans left to fill the State Theater.

But the marquee at the Pantages Theater was the cool one: "Arby's Annual Meeting: Good Mood Food." It's funny to think of Arby's corporate people having a meeting, don't you think? What do they talk about? The newest roast-beef sandwich, the one that will put their customers in a good mood? As fast food goes, Arby's isn't so bad, I guess, but I don't remember it ever putting me in a good mood, not so far anyway. On the other hand, when have you ever seen me in a bad mood? Or do you have to already be in a good mood to go there? And more importantly, how sick are you of my rhetorical questions??

Well just like any other multi-million dollar company would meet about. Do you believe things just magically appear in a restaurant. There are way to many things to list about corporate meetings/conventions and I realize, you clearly have never been to one. There is stategic focus on how to improve the business, just as any business would do i.e. Apple,Dell,Home Depot etc.

thanks for the comment, Anonymous. It's true that I (fortunately) have never been to a Home Depot convention or any of those others, but I would think an Arby's corporate meeting would at least be more fun. So how is the 'good mood food' working out?

it is also useful to identify what you want from your booking. Do you want a stunning girl to sign up for you on a magical date, or are you keen for a scorching expert (or !) to fulfil some wild fantasies
