Hi, Lovely Ladies and Guys,
 

Well I certainly made an impression with my commercial and trust that it was taken in a good natured way. (Note: I did not ask to have that table put on stage.)

I look forward to being an active member and to having my wonderful associates at Ted Mayr Funeral Home join me at the monthly meetings...

We are saddened at the passing of one of our past Spirit of Networking Award recipients. Bonnie Warrington died peacefully in her sleep this past week after a long battle with bone cancer. You can view the announcement in the Ventura Star at

Your attention is grabbed when the word "you" is used because your primitive brain cares about you, sex, food, and change in the environment often related to survival and fight or flight issues.

Tonight 8/8/10) on Lifetime Movie Network at 8pm, The Devil's Teardrop, based on a book by thriller writer Jeffery Deaver about a document examiner. Why am I telling you this? Because Deaver told me a while back that he had used one of my books on handwriting analysis for research. And because Lifetime contacted me recently to provide some information about handwriting examination and some analyses of famous criminals. The result is on their web site.

You know that old adage about it’s better to give than to receive? What if you could do both at the same time? And it won’t cost any money!!
