That is Service Above Self in action. #RotarianAtWork Later that day he texted.... "Had you not selected that restaurant he would have died. It's a team effort of fate. We all just have different roles.""

He calmly told the staff to call 911, then stepped in and properly performed the maneuver and saved the man's life. I am incredibly proud of, my The @Rotary Club of Parole (Annapolis) brother, Ed, for literally saving a life right in front of my eyes.

If @McDonalds ever wants a second opinion on launch strategy, I’d be happy to volunteer, because right now, it looks like hundreds of thousands (maybe a million) disappointed fans didn’t get their golden arches moment today. But nine minutes later they did get a sold out message.

That was interesting. @McDonalds launched its much-hyped @ParamountCaviar promotion at 11:00 am... and right on cue, the site crashed. For a brand that size, this kind of rollout should have been better anticipated. Planning for traffic surges is part of the job a major promo.
