During this past autumn, I had the pleasure of attending a wonderfully informative and fun luncheon sponsored by Jabra. I was excited about several new products, applications, and new developments.

I marveled over the Clipper headset that could be used while running, because during my Project 2010k I had experiences with earbuds sliding or yanking out of my ears while running, or - in one case - with the wire actually breaking as I made a sudden movement.

And the Jabra Stone really appealed to me because I used to leave my headset in the car where it would of course lose power. The Stone charges itself within the "stone" so it doesn't require a full "in-house" charge-up for awhile. One of the presenters told us he wears his Stone around the house. Although I've mastered the "shoulder cradle" hold, it does make sense to use a headset in the house so I can multi-task. (Note: there is now Stone 2, which looks amazing!)

I enjoyed learning about applications that read email, and how some Jabra products are Skype-enabled. I realized Jabra isn't only about mobile phone calls. Email, radio, and music are all enhanced using Jabra products.

I went away from the luncheon feeling happy with all the "cool" things I had learned about and the product samples I was taking home. I thought about the products as "fun," "innovative" and "time-saving." I thought about entertainment and work-related productivity.

But what I learned is that these Jabra products ended up being vital in terms of FAMILY.

My family had the pleasure of seeing Disney on Ice: Let's Celebrate! this evening. Well, to be completely honest, it was a bit scary before the show started because I choked on a hot-dog, but once the show began, it was definitely a pleasure.

We are no strangers to Disney on Ice, so were glad to see both familiar characters and new ones. The routines were definitely different than the previous shows. I particularly enjoyed the myriad of costume changes for Mickey and his gang. (The Christmas ensembles were especially festive.)

The performance is definitely a "celebration," from birthdays to seasons to love to life, and everything in between.

There were fireworks, beautiful pairs skating, neon glow-in-the-dark effects, and of course plenty of catchy tunes, some of which were new to me (hooray!)

My youngest son was thrilled to see his favorites: Tinkerbell and Ariel. My oldest thought it was funny that Jack Pumpkin made an appearance. He looked over at me with surprise, whispering, "I saw this movie in school!" Indeed, for about a month thereafter he'd randomly sing out, "This is Halloween!" with twisted glee. (How many bucks says he starts doing that again?)

You ought to experience the show yourself, and I've got some a discount codes for you!
