MBA

I've always wondered what those MBA graduates are up to. I mean, besides coming up with corporate jargon like "synergy" and getting paid a lot more than me. Well here is what the MBA's at Raytheon are up to.

"The Raytheon red is evolving this year. The new red reinvigorates the Raytheon brand and provides additional richness and boldness that helps further distinguish our marketing and communication materials and our messaging from that of our competitors."

Wow that's exactly what I thought when I saw the new logo.

Here are the new guidelines:

PMS: 186
CMYK: 0,100,81,4
RGB 206,17,38

This is serious. Enjoy the logo:

CHAROLLAIS (Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France · Goat-P)

I've dined at some of the finest restaurants in Philadelphia including, Fogo de Chao, Ruth's Chris, Cuba Libre, Brasserie Perrier, and Striped Bass. I've been using the wonderful benefits I receive from Uncle Ray to help me out. And while I've had some amazing and expensive culinary experiences (including the second and third best beef I've ever tasted) I found that for only 20 dollars, I could be filled with more delight. "Tria". It's a wine cheese and beer cafe, of sorts. It's got more of an old pub feel with none of the frat party. They are open late (1:15am - I freaking love you already) and have the finest of simple pleasures. I started with a cheese called "CHAROLLAIS (Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France · Goat-P) Dense, rich pate center with a crinkly almond colored rind—tart, intense, and beautiful." It was served on a little wooden platter with honey and some bread. As I took in this wonderful cheese I listened to Keane, U2, traditional Celtic music, and Jimmy Hendrix. Could life get better. It did. For my meal I had a 3 cheese and sun dried tomato toasted-panino along with Reed's Apple Cider Ginger Brew. After weeks of living in Philadelphia, I found my slice. It was a warm night tonight and it hints of Spring, my favorite time of year. I smiled the whole 2 blocks back to my hotel. Haven't done that in a while. It's been one month, and it still sucks.
