If ever there was an unexpected
treasure hidden behind a plain exterior, this is it! Anyone who has
lived in Richardson, Texas as long as I have will remember the building
on Campbell and Nantucket as the original Sterlings catalog store. After
that, it was offices. Recessed off Campbell, is a nondescript building,
except for the fact that there are now huge letters on the front that
say Classic Cars, Banquet Rooms and NTX.
Andy knows that it will be
a hard trick to fool everyone. His friend Johnny Mosley, will be helping
as he pretends to be hosting a reality show. Posing as David, a computer
programmer, Andy will be working with Johnny and the employees to see if
he deserves to win a job.
Sometimes it is (1) attorney, sometimes it is (2) attorneys and
sometimes it involves the Judge. In this particular case, here is poor
little "Linda" getting a divorce from "Outdoor Bob". Prior to their
marriage, Linda had perfect credit and Outdoor Bob, being a rascal, had
ziltch for credit. Linda was told by Mom and Dad, don't marry that bum.
Well, love prevailed and they got married.

Last month, customers from the business and
government sector purchased a total of 1.2 million cars and trucks. 56.9
percent of said figure came from local automakers. That makes sales rise
by 55.4 percent from the previous year. In 1970 my husband bought a Dodge R/T for $5000. The
price of the car was usually a bit less, but this particular car had all
the bells and whistles needed to be a true Muscle Car. If kept in mint
condition this car would now be worth approximately $50,000. He was
young and foolish though; blew up the engine, and just trashed the car.
To this day, the thought of his youthful waste makes him kind of
sick.
If your firm were a car what would it be? Strong and tough
like a
buy truck from owner? Sleek and
fast like a Ferrari? Sophisticated and state-of-the-art like a Mercedes
S-Class? How about an ice cream flavor? A beverage? A movie genre? All
of these exercises not only make for a lively discussion, but work to
help define your firm personality. Once that emerges, look for ways to
incorporate it in your firm's daily business- from answering the phones
to your letterhead. Jumping off the back of the
deuce-and-half truck, brushing through the crowd of peanut girls, I
headed to the bar. It was a beautiful day with sunlight dappling the
shaded roadway. It all came back to her then, how he'd lain sobbing in his room
across from hers while the man raged in the livingroom, how she'd
slipped into his twin bed with him and wrapped her arms around him until
he was finally asleep, how she'd read chapters of "Charlotte's Web" to
him each night, how he'd raced on his bike through the dark streets the
night they'd finally made their escape. She'd let him in on it early on,
told him all about her plan to find a new place where it would be just
the two of them and how he wouldn't ever again have to lie awake at
night afraid of what was going on in the livingroom or of what he'd see
in the morning as he headed out for school. He'd told no one. It was
their secret. In the weeks following, Charles started overhauling
his truck. After tying the knot at the top of Squaw Valley, Tucker and
his wife booked their awesome honeymoon. Bennett has started flight
school and will soon be flying to Alaska for some mountain climbing
there.
