Book Tag

Yippee-I-Oh-Kiyay! My friend Tracie tagged me and now it's my turn. Here are the rules:
Find the book closest to you with at least 123 pages.
Turn to page 123.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the next 3 sentences.
Tag 5 people.

My husband brought me a book for Valentines Day: Turnaround--Crisis, Leadership, and the Olympic Games by Mitt Romney. Having been an Olympic Volunteer, I was super pleased with the scribble inside the front cover: "Merinda, Thanks for all your help making this a success. Mitt Romney" I'm halfway through it.
OK page 123:

Our marketing prospects weren't helped when Johnson & Johnson backed out of an intended Olympic sponsorship. While technically not rescinding an offer since they had never signed the letter of intent, Johnson & Johnson's decision not to proceed felt like a defection. Brandweek magazine listed Johnson & Johnson's decision's concerns about coordinating the sponsorship among their many brands.

The situation looks pretty black for Mitt on page 123; but having been there, I can tell you that it will have a happy ending.

I tag Jen, Emily Reynolds, Marci, Lauren&Jared, and Emily Robinson.
