Celebrity look-alikes for Pete the younger
A friend of mine posted a funny celebrity look-alike image of him and George Clooney. It sparked my interest so I checked out the site, MyHeritage. Here are my celebrity look-alikes, based on truly sophisticated facial recognition software: 6/30/08: A follow-up to my celebrity look-alike post . . . I have been told by several [...]
Bob Mackie
Part of my trip down memory lane . . . Have I ever blogged about meeting Bob Mackie, professional lighting décor designer, and Carol Burnett’s costumer? Here I am, at an event at my then client, Northern Lights, meeting Bob Mackie in December 2003.
Cactus Cuties sing the National Anthem at Texas Tech University on Feb. 9, 2008
I don’t normally post things like this, but it is so musically noteworthy I think it’s worth it. This quintet of young girls form a group called the Cactus Cuties. The YouTube video below shows their rendering of the National Anthem at a Texas Tech University basketball game on Feb. 9, 2008. It’s so well [...]
Today I toured the Alamo with Mike Huckabee
I was an unexpected part of a campaign 2008 event today. I’m in San Antonio participating in the International Association of Business Communicators Leadership Institute (because I’m the president-elect of the Las Vegas chapter of IABC) and after getting settled at The Westin Riverwalk hotel met up with an IABC comrade from Salt Lake City [...]
Best wishes, Mitt Romney
I hate to say I saw it coming, even though I did. Our country just needs more time to ponder what it would mean to vote for Mitt Romney for president. I’m sure he’s got a great future ahead of him. After four or eight years of democratic reign, I suspect we’ll hear more from [...]
Mitt Romney’s campaign for president
I typically don’t blog about religion. There is good in any religion that teaches tolerance, virtue, integrity and service to others. But I’m so impressed by a Jan. 6 article published by Harvard professor Noah Feldman in The New York Times Magazine about Mitt Romney’s struggle for the U.S. presidency as a Mormon that I [...]
Investigating child abuse
Many of you have inquired as to the child abuse investigation surrounding Dominic’s broken leg accident. Good news! Yesterday we received a letter from child protective services with the following: The Protective Services referral was closed on 12-7-2007 with a disposition of unsubstantiated. So, it looks like that part of Dominic’s injury and recovery is [...]
Adding insult to injury
Now that expression has a whole new meaning for us. We were caught off-guard by child abuse accusations and investigations. Our thoughts were focused on helping Dominic get through the awful pain he was experiencing when he broke his leg, and on helping him get the best medical care to have the best outcome possible. [...]
The saga of the broken femur
It’s amazing to me that a two-and-a-half year-old’s running stumble on the family room carpet could result in a spiral fracture in his femur. As a result of the investigation by the county’s family services and Henderson Police Department Dominic has now undergone a head-to-toe set of x-rays and CAT scan, Eliana was pulled from [...]
Dominic’s broken leg
Where to start? It’s 2 a.m. and I’ve been up for 21 hours. Dominic has a circular fracture on his left femur. The injury was self inflicted as he ran around the living room after dinner tonight. I was washing dishes. Vickey was making salsa in preparation for her home show tonight. Eliana was in [...]
