I’ve been negotiating a lot lately at work. In general, I enjoy negotiating professionally. It can be kind of fun, and I’ve been coaching and teaching some of our staff on the finer points of negotiating lately. The following popped up in my mail folder while searching for something else.

The inimitable Jimmy Buffett released his 26th original album (not counting live and compilations) on October 6th. Now that I’ve had a few days to absorb and bask in the new songs, I offer my review and analysis of the album, which is eagerly awaiting by many.

Jimmy’s last album, “License to Chill” was his greatest commercial success to date from a career that has lasted over 35 years. That album featured several popular country artists and was recorded after Jimmy appeared with Alan Jackson in a song called “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and attracted the attention of large, mainstream country music fans. Suddenly, Jimmy was cool.
