    At the risk of being a little flip...I'm not terribly sad at the death of those particular brands. Although I did spend many many late night/early morning hours in Perkins when I was in high school.

    That said, I spent much of my early career working in startups and as a result I'm extremely cautious in deciding where to go, who to trust and the subsequent actions to take. I've also got a little bit of a thicker skin than I used to. I've learned to pick my battles. But mostly, I realized that ultimately, I'm the one in charge of my own destiny despite whatever it is that might happen with any company I'm in or anyone I may work for. It was a lesson learned after many times of being burnt.

    Now the National Enquirer question...I'm sure we're all wondering what inspired this post. And yes, it's ok to leave us all wondering!
