Breakaway News Volume No. 19 Issue No. 9 September 2014

Labor of Love

 As we mentioned last newsletter, Labor Day came early this year, so we hope you all enjoyed the last long weekend of summer.  We especially want to wish a belated happy Labor Day to a very special group: our couriers. They labor all day long, cruising the mean streets, making sure your order gets there on time.

 Happy New Year

 "Shanah Tovah" to all our friends and customers who will be celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.  This year, Rosh Hashanah starts of the evening of September 24th and ends on the evening of September 26th , late in the month, but just in time for a needed break from school.

 Summer Bummer 

Of course, the early Labor Day heralds the return of the little ones to school, much to the chagrin of children the country over, as well as to the delight of their parents. Did you remember to get all of the requisite back to school items? If not, don’t forget, that Breakaway can pick up everything the tykes possibly need, from pencils to desks. The only thing we cannot pick up for them is the desire to go back to school.

Fee Fi Fo Future 

Communications and technology continue to evolve as we inexorably move into the future. Part of that innovation is Wi-Fi. Not to be confused with HiFi. Or Sci Fi. And definitely not with Muay Thai. And definitely not Defy. Okay … what
 were we just talking about?

  Night and Day

The autumnal equinox – the official start of fall – arrives on Monday, September 22 at 10:29 PM EDT. Enjoy the daylight while it lasts.
 

Not Fashionably Late 

Another huge event in September, aside from back to school, is, of course, Fashion Week. This month, the city’s well heeled and the fashionably appointed will be either gawking at the runway or strutting their stuff on it. While some in these rarified circles may run fashionably late, our couriers won’t, and never will. They’re all fashionably on time.
 

 Calling All Salesmen

Congratulations to our sales team, Larry Choiniere and Jimmy Kaplow on their new glass office space. Now they too can experience all the joys that goldfish do! Please, call them in the glass room for sales referrals at 646-674-8326. Or, call them just to say hello. They love to talk. 

Stump the Band

Last month, we asked what creature has the highest metabolism of any homeothermic animal. Answer: the hummingbird.
 

 T-Shirt Question

 It’s called Rosh Hashanah today, but what are the true biblical names of the holiday of the Jewish New Year? The first one to call Gil Ortiz with the correct answer will win a coveted Breakaway T-shirt. Hint: There are two different names.
