The Last Day

Today is the last day of National Ice Cream Month. Be sure to go grab a cone with a colleague.

Brad, Jordan and I did that yesterday. Brad ordered a flavor called, Trash Can. Have you ever heard of that? He said it was good.

Anyway – if there is no ice cream shop nearby, and no ice cream trucks hanging out in your parking lot, how about grabbing a box of ice cream sandwiches and passing them out in the office.

A great afternoon treat, especially during the dog days of summer.

If you don’t have time for any of this today – it might help for you to know that August 2 is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. And since that falls on a Sunday this year, many people will be celebrating it on Monday, August 3.

While all of this might seem like nonsense, there’s a real good chance that it will help you with some serious business like boosting productivity, morale, the economy – even customer loyalty.

There is certainly wisdom in all of that.
