October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As you know, my wife has started a blog about her breast cancer at BreastCancerVictory.com. In addition to being somewhat therapeutic for her, she’s not only enriching people’s lives with her story but also creating awareness about this silent killer.

Every 1.9 minutes, a woman is diagnosed.

So anything you can do to help is so important. Even small things. Run in your local “run for the cure.” Talk about it on your blog or in your emails (early detection and prevention is the single greatest “cure”). Donate to it directly. Shop “pink” during October whenever you can (from retailers who donate portions of your purchase).

Oh, boy, am I angry.

I was in Vegas last weekend speaking at Carl Galletti’s Internet Marketing Superconference — click here to see the pictures. We had a blast! Sylvie and I went to see Le Rêve (”The Dream,” by the Cirque du Soleil) at the Wynn. Absolutely a fabulous show!

We also had time to tour the “strip” and even checked out a live band and danced on the rooftop (52nd floor) at the Rio hotel, overlooking Las Vegas’ skyline.

Now, you’re probably wondering why I’m angry…
