Yesterday (4/18) was a great day for Georneys and me. Why? Everything seemed to go well. I had a doctor appointment for a leg checkup (recovering from a bad stress fracture), and got cleared to get back to exercising after five months of couch-potatodom.
I got an unexpected email from a successful startup - from the CEO. He was recommending his product, but he wrote to me because we both read a common blog.
Then we got an email from David Cohen of TechStars, asking if we'd be interested in being interviewed for an article for the Boulder Daily Camera. We applied to TechStars but didn't make the cut. We just weren't ready - we started Georneys at about the same time TechStars was announced, and we just couldn't get our idea rounded out before the application deadline. At any rate, David was kind enough to introduce us to a reporter who wrote about our company, indirectly. It provided us with our first news coverage!
Then, we decided to move forward with a new site design. It's going to cost us some money, but we have to do it. The company we're using is Colorado-based Slice of Lime. We went to a big fancy lunch and David bribed me with filet mignon. I ordered a slice of key lime (my favourite) pie to go. A little later I opened up the carton to eat my pie. Guess what was on top? A slice of lime. How cool is that? The coincidence had me laughing until I was in tears. I've never gotten a slice of key lime pie with an actual slice of lime on top. Ever (it's often got kiwi on top, though).
If every day was like yesterday, I would be the happiest person in the world. And everyone around me would be certain that I was insane!
