Forward

Dave's Log:  Cyberdate 7.8.07

Emma has become impatient with our recent lack of adventures.  While we have been working and doing the typical kind of stuff that is necessary to live, Emma has been at play.  She has made Gabriele real.  Well, we suspect that real is an interpretation, but Gabriele sure looks real.  Standing next to Elle, it is impossible to tell which person requires food and air. 

To shake off the rust Avelina has us heading to the Quadrant of Change to visit the planet Forward.  Gabriele will be running point on this mission.  In a preflight meeting, she tells us that folks who live on Forward, are forging new frontiers in the world of Public Relations (PR).  It is Gabriele's opinion that the lads who drove the Cluetrain back on the planet of Conversation, were among the first to venture West towards where the planet Forward is today.

Erin Caldwell meets us upon deboarding.  She walks directly up to Gabriele and gives her a  hearty handshake.  Except for Elle, most of us are a tad bit older.  We suspect that Erin has correctly recognized Gabriele as our translator.  Erin tells Gabriele about all that Forward offers.  There is career advice, technology advice, advice to help one become a more accomplished PR professional and just some darn good advice.  We also found this kind of interesting.

This has been a most refreshing visit.  There are so many here dedicated to improving their profession!  You know, Emma has been awfully quiet since we've landed on Forward...and this concerns us.  And, as if on cue, "David, have you noticed Gabriele?" Emma asks with a bit of mischievousness in her voice. 

We look up and there is Gabriele eating an ice cream cone.
