Busted

In a duel of lack of strength and sheer determination, lack of strength prevailed today. Got this crazy idea this morning to run a half marathon – after two years.
First ten miles (16K) were tolerable at 9:55 pace. Then I hit a wall. Just could not keep up. Walked and ran the last three miles (5K).
Gotta get back in shape again….
For the time being, hot tub and a couple of Advils, here I come…

Amazing visibility to the supply chain

In spite of working in the supply chain area for 12 years, I am often pleasantly surprised at some simple things.

Like tracking a FedEx package, I can now see Sharmila’s new car proceeding thru the factory in Japan. This morning it has rolled off the factory and is waiting at the dock to be loaded onto the ship tonite.

It still takes too much time to actually get possession, but when you see that thing move thru the supply chain, somehow the wait does not seem that painful!!
