Pardon me for being too busy to really post anything of value for four weeks, and for weeks before that.
But hey hey, what can I do? Wanna tell you bout the girl I love...
PaceWheel, LLC is within striking distance of breaking even. My father-in-law and I sold 77 wheels at the Colorado High School Coaches' Association Track and Field Clinic in Fort Collins, CO. (which was sponsored by the USA Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association - USATFCCCA - just in case you were wondering). HC! WTH? IDK.
Anyay, after the CHSCAT&FCiFCCO, my dad and I sold 50 wheels at the USATF Level 1 Coaching School held at the OTC (Olympic Training Center) this weekend. Add to those numbers all the internet and other in-person sales, and I've sold 286 PaceWheels since I got them in hand on November 1.
I figure just 50 more wheels and we'll break even.
Then we can go back into the red to get a place at the Chicago Shamrock Shuffle Expo on Navy Pier in March.

Portmanteau
So there I am, asleep, and yet another great idea pops into my head -- better than "Rosencrantz' Underpants" but maybe not as good as The Original PaceWheel (which was recently endorsed by the Chair of USATF Coaching Education).
No, no...my dreaming self came up with a clever new Portmanteau. A portmanteau is a combination of two existing words (or word parts) that makes a new meaning. For example: guesstimate combines guess and estimate and gives a new word loaded with more meaning than the other two.
Now, before I head to my psychotherapist to figure out what I could have been dreaming about to bring about this new word, let me get it out on paper...er...whatever.
My new portmanteau combines the words caboose and bustier. One is your rear, and the other lifts and separates. What better way to accentuate the junk in your trunk than the combination you'll get out of a pair of low-rise jeans and the caboose-tier (or is it ca-bustier...or caboostier)?
Top this slogan:
"The wonderbra for wonderbread."
