away from work and availed for the scooter ride, we have Norm Viano, sports agent extraordinaire, holding what appears to be a simple bit of fluid...however, always the ON consumate agent, click on the image above to hear Norm giving the quick (very quick) pitch for one of his racer's main sponsors (Red Bull)...smart lad indeed...

and speaking of, we had the pleasure of talking with him about his profession during one of our gas stops...a profession that is full of endless pursuits of contracts with sponsors, as well as obligating himself and his clients to making the right pitch at the right time...Norm talked of the learning curve, the burning curve of long hours, and what it takes to keep the business, THE business, in a multitude of time zones and locales...though still an enviable job indeed...good to have him along for the short portion he was able to flog down the paths with us (for he had to get back to catch a live feed of a MotoGP race)...as I said, always on...
