We have just returned to Atlanta after a week of business strategy at our annual corporate planning retreat in the N.C. mountains. We started our days over coffee at a local coffee shop, and finished the days huddled around the fireplace back at the house, in a sea of scattered papers, album samples and business literature. One night the power went out for about 5 hours. Rachel cooked the four of us an amazing dinner of salmon, green beans and polenta, all on an outdoor grill. Afterward, we lit a bunch of candles in the den and continued our discussions by candlelight. It was an interesting experience! Although we talked business 12 hours a day, we did take a little time out to go hiking up to a couple of waterfalls.
