Feeling Sorry for Powerball Lottery Winners

Friday, November 30, 2012
There were two winners in the recent HALF A BILLION dollar jackpot winnings for the Powerball this past Wednesday.  I just watched the live newscast of the family that won in Missouri.  It was the all-American family from Midwest-- mother, father, three adult sons and beautiful young daughter.  Their faces beaming, containing their excitement, perhaps nervous from being on live television. Once upon...

Bombshells in Catsuits

Monday, November 19, 2012
Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider If you know me, then you know I love cats and wearing cat suits--for a cause.  Here is a video of actresses in jaw-dropping form-fitting catsuits for various movie roles. Cat suits do not necessarily mean that an actress must be playing the role of a cat woman. Other famous "cat suits" include Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider....

Salt Lake City

So what did I think of Salt Lake City?

Thursday, July 19, 2012
"Different by Nature" that's the motto of Salt Lake City. Indeed after my very brief trip, I was so impressed with this city, I have added it to my Top 10 list of cities to visit or return. So many unexpected and pleasant  (except one) surprises, I was heartbroken I could not spend more time. There were a number of free tours and...

Mother's Day at the Team Room, Cauley Square

Monday, May 14, 2012
It's Mother's Day and I wondered what my mother would choose for her brunch or destination. Yes on this day and her birthday, mom gets to choose any activity of her liking.  And boy does she keep it varied and interesting. Once it was an airboat tour of alligators. The following year it was brunch outdoors surrounded by gardens--that's heaven for a greenthumb like my...

Alligators, Crocodiles and Pythons Oh My!

Thursday, April 19, 2012
I love my home state of Florida for many reasons--the weather (yes I can take humidity over freezing cold any day), the beaches, the variety of cultural activities and the scenery EXCEPT for unwanted alligators, crocodiles, and pythons.  We see them more and more in front lawns, backyards and swimming pools. Growing up in Titusville, FL (across the river from Kennedy Space Center)...

The Rage about Pinterest

Friday, March 02, 2012
Now as a marketing professional it's my job to keep up with marketing trends, gimmicks, technology... Candidly, I haven't plunged into Google+ and based on loose perception, it rates low on the craze scale but according to one Google analyst, they have several million users. We'll have to wait and see for proven case studies for its impact. But a newcomer social technology,...

Martin Luther King Day and My Dream for America

Monday, January 16, 2012
Christine feeding Mama Cat and Romeo On this important date in history I am reminded of a great leader. As we know leadership is often riddled with conflicts that may ignite prejudice, violence even wars. Basically due to ignorance. We know the stories in history of people belittled, degraded, attacked, unfairly treated in social, commercial, political and legislative aspects just because of the color...
