Look, Ernie, Jeri, you guys need to understand priorities.

Ten years from now, looking back, you won't be laughing about how great the trade show in Texas was, will ya? How glad you are that you went to the trade show? How magical the turn of fate that lead you to the door of that trade show? How memorable the products on display, the subtleties of the plastics used, the mystic, transcendent vibe that formed over the happy trade show attendees?

Hell no, you won't.

But the Getaway, now, that's a different story altogether. You could tell your grandchildren about that, yowzah, and they wouldn't interrupt! You'll dine out for weeks on Getaway tales, but the trade show will be the subject of a dry report in Microsoft Word that no-one will read. You'll look back years from now and sigh with a smile, thinking how glad you are you made that scene!

What's really important here?
