I need a globe...

Pick a country, any country...

I'm looking forward to the day where world-travels can be tax-deducitble for my family's business! Here's one more country I can "work"! My personal business creeped into Korea recently (via Canada) and I hope that one day I will have business in each of the countries where we operate.

Life is sweet!
