In my fulltime job as Internet marketing manager for a non-profit organization, I occasionally have the privilege of working with an agency called Web Direct Advertising, based in Portland, Maine. I was talking the other day with our account rep, Charles Raines. Jokingly, I suggested, since they were in Maine, that he send me some lobsters. I was kidding, honest.

Well, low and behold, what should appear at my office today but a box with eight (count 'em, eight!) live Maine lobsters! I couldn't believe my eyes! That is the first time anything like that has ever happened to me.

Needless to say, we had a lobsterfest at my house tonight. . .and Web Direct Advertising just got higher up my priority ladder in terms of companies I want to do business with. Thanks, Charles! You're the best!
