Missed the Slow Boat to China

Our business-oriented state governor is in Shanghai right now with 60 business, government and "private" individuals at the Expo asking Chinese people to visit/invest in/study in Hawaii (that is, spend money in Hawaii).  I wish I could have gotten some subsidy or tax credit for my efforts to do the same; one of my group members observed: "Are you a representative of the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce?" as I was passing around mac nuts and koa bookmarks and collectible Hawaii Starbucks cards.  (I wonder if there are special New Jersey or Oklahoma Starbucks cards?) I did my part to promote the various benefits of spending some time (money) in the state.  Won't someone say thanks?

Zhuangzi has authorized me to say thanks from him. :-D

You really should get an official thanks! (Also, maybe some payment. :)
