Publisher's NoteAccording to a Gallup Poll from last year, 64 percent of
Americans drink alcohol. Thirty-four percent of American
drinkers choose wine. Fortunately, wine is not rising in price
at the rate of oil. That's the good news. We already know the bad news about gasoline, feeling it every time we pull up to
the pump. That precious petroleum product is now triple what it
was just a few years ago. Wow! Wouldn't it be nice to increase
your hourly billing rate three-fold? The next time a client
balks at your price increase maybe you could pour them a glass
of Merlot and remind them that their dollar goes a lot farther
with you than it does with Shell, Gulf, and Exxon! Latest News
