An Irish Prayer

One of my clients sent this to me years ago. It hangs on my wall, as a source of inspiration 🙂 May those who love us, love us And those that don’t love us, May God turn their hearts; And if He doesn’t turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we’ll know them … Continue reading An Irish Prayer

American Idol boots Brandon

Brandon Rogers, the back up singer, was voted off of American Idol tonight. For a guy with a decent voice, he chose a strange song. Actually, I knew all but one of the songs performed last night and while Brandon's performance was among the weaker ones, it certainly wasn't the worst. That honor belongs to … Continue reading American Idol boots Brandon

Are you a psychopath?

I received this via email and figured I'd share to see whether there are any psychopaths among us 🙂 This is not a trick question. A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be her … Continue reading Are you a psychopath?

American Idol Results 03/08/07

And we are down to twelve. Four more were voted off American Idol tonight. The first casualty of the night was Jared Cotter, who sang a bad rendition of Stevie Wonder's "If You Really Love Me."

Les & Sally: childhood sweethearts

This time of the year, as I'm sure you can guess, my days are mostly spent meeting with clients. Yesterday was no different: appointments from 10am to 6pm. One of those appointments was with a couple who have been clients of mine since 1988, Les & Sally. For whatever reason, the conversation turned to how … Continue reading Les & Sally: childhood sweethearts

AI: Another four gone

Voted off the show tonight were Nick Pedro, Alaina Alexander, AJ Tabaldo, and Leslie Hunt. Nick is a crooner who dropped out during Hollywood Week last year. The guy has a beautiful voice, but probably just got lost in the crowd this year. Too many of the male vocalists are sweet-voiced and Nick just didn't … Continue reading AI: Another four gone
