Arianna Huffington and others have aptly remarked on the fact that our growing cadre of billionaires face rising challenges when it comes to gifts. Well, let's clarify that.

Could you tell somthing about your work as a spindoctor? seems really interesting work to me.
Instigator,
Welcome back, after a year's hiatus, more or less. Spindoctoring? Mostly marketing for a small company, on the day job.
Pawlie, you nut, thanks for visiting my blog. I've been a fan of this blog for sometime now. It came to me via Ms. Glamourpuss.
I'd love to exchange links. Though I was sure I'd already listed you in my blogroll. A minor oversight. Simple to correct.
Cheers from Berlin
