Critical Pricing: Day One

Today was our first critical pricing day. Samantha my wife turned everything off and I think she’s turning everything back on now. So far so good.
She also had an AP reporter stop buy today, conincidently, who is doing a story on the PEPPCO/Office of the People’s Councel’s program.

Thanks for the invitation.

OK, I’m finally on the blog and ready to go. Looking forward to the program.
