Hi there all.

Business:

Just a quick note to let you know that after considering requests from within the franchise group comments have now been enabled here on the soapbox.

We / I really appreciate your efforts in brining news about Smith’s and Japan to the public with the SoapBox and trust this new function further supports your efforts.

Pleasure: Last week, Sunday I was in Tokyo for a franchise training seminar and had a great time seeing all the guys in Tokyo. I appeared a bit sunburned as I had just arrived back from a 3 day sailing trip. I promised to stick a couple of YouTubes up and here they are. Comments are open here as well.

I work hard and play hard. Here I am at the helm of a 30 foot sailing boat in some pretty strong wind.

I look forward to seeing more postings and comments here on the SoapBox. Thank you all so very much for making the SoapBox what it is today.

Mark Smith.

    Hey Mark, you look good out there, but I am not sure I could handle that much wind! or the angle of the boat Wow! When are you taking the SSE crew sailing? No race, just a fun cruise in the spring or early summer? Keep it in mind.
