# [You Are What You Eat, but Not What You Tweet – Thoughts from the Road](https://www.brainzooming.com/blog/you-are-what-you-eat-but-not-what-you-tweet-thoughts-from-the-road)

### What You Get Traveling

First trip of the year, and I started getting a sore throat by the first morning. How did I not build up more immunity than THAT? A scratchy throat makes for a long week . . . While walking around downtown Boston in 20-degree weather, I had a great hoodie on under my coat. I felt like Bill Belichick . . . When I was frozen and finally ready to give up and get an Uber, my phone kept shutting off. Or maybe it was user error. Either way, THAT is bad timing . . . The restaurant one night featured a "Roasted Half Roasted Chicken." Not sure if that is bad proof reading or that chicken is really snockered . . . I was pushing my luck on both legs of this trip. No crab cakes until I had some at the Baltimore airport. No lobster roll until I had one at the Boston airport. Gotta start getting my regional food needs covered on arrival.

### Doing The Work

You know you have the right data set when a clear implication is that [a corporate executive intrigued by "fun strategic planning" is destined to work with us](https://info.brainzooming.com/fun-strategy-ideas) . . . When someone is all-in to your movement, find every way to involve them. Then get out of the way and let them go . . . There really is an interesting bond with people born around the time you were. They always feel like home. Just discovered that two fave clients and I were all born within 3 months of each other . . . "Invest in people." No truer words from a great guy that advises us on inbound marketing . . . Yes, in answer to your question, I do have one of those Facebook things. Brainzooming does too. Wanna come join us?

### Getting There, Here, and Yon

This flight attendant's favorite (and frequently repeated) phrase, "Go long." Okay, sure. Whatever you say . . . I just got A-List status on Southwest Airlines. I need to learn the perks, and figure out how to take advantage of them. In the meantime, the soon-to-expire free drink tickets from a friend came in handy as anything . . . [The guy across the aisle from me on the plane insists I am a character actor he’s seen on TV](https://www.brainzooming.com/16-ice-breaker-questions-to-stimulate-rich-conversations/26022/) . . . I don't have the need for speed. The need to have peed? Yeah, that's what I need. It’s a long way from Boston to Kansas City . . . Uber drivers in many places seem to be wannabe entertainers. Not in Boston, though. They are surly enough to be actual cab drivers . . . For my first Uber on Monday, I was the driver's FIRST Uber ride ever; [she missed my house on the pickup and curb hopped once](https://www.brainzooming.com/customer-experience-strategy-3-steps-to-developing-consistent-processes/28284/). On the last day, I was somewhere in the 19,000s of that driver’s rides. It must have been an even longer week for him than it was for me. - *[Mike Brown](https://www.brainzooming.com/?page_id=1197)*
