A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi...

Every week without fail, someone writes to ask my advice about visiting Palm Springs. Where to stay, what to see, where to eat or what to do. Being the Palm Springs Savant has become a bit of a side career for me; second to my "day job" where for the past 12 years I established myself in the pet industry. Sometimes these two worlds collide, which is interesting to say the least. For example, I recently addressed a pet industry conference and spoke about pet food retailing. During my presentation, a few attendees must have Googled me and ran across this blog. After my presentation concluded, several people came up and asked me not about my presentation, but about Palm Springs. Wild huh? I shouldn't be surprised, after all, Palm Springs has been around a lot longer than me and has a certain je ne sais quoi. As an unofficial spokesperson I should probably be better versed in that, but it seemed more trendy to throw in a well-placed French expression to end this post. Sure beats me writing another paragraph on why dog food is so interesting.
