Wailea Point

I dropped from the blogspace while my family was on vacation.  We rented a Wailea Point condo on Maui.  My wife and boys were there for a month... I was their for the first 9 days and the last 9 days.  How's that for 14 thousand miles on United.

Anyway - I'm back.  And I'm working on a blog about CIO magazine's August 1, 2005 cover page article, "The Perfect Order" and how West Marine shares sales information and demand forecasts with 200 of its suppliers.  The result is a dramatic improvement on in-stock levels during peak season.  Hmmmm - I wonder if this applies to Automotive?
