Training and planning for a distance event or challenge begins with the commitment to go the distance. The commitment to take on an event happens well before a course map is issued. Course maps constantly change even though the event / events are the same. The weather has far more impact on...

Thus far just another high-rise urban project. There will eventually be some trim, accents and theming but in no way reflecting wilderness, woods or anything resembling outdoors lifestyle not even urbanized (brick and mortar) glamping. Oh well, at least there will be some views of the lake and...

Foolish mortals.

Soooooo kind of like playing Russian Roulette with your bookings. Planning on a Disney vacation? Let's spice it up and gamble with bookings.

Constant price fluctuations / changes, hmmmmmm, not that it is not occurring now BUT let's put it on steroids. Fans, customers, guests, aficionados (pick your own terminology) are not people / humans rather monetary resources to be manipulated, used and fleeced. Dynamic pricing = not a new...
