Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
My daughter Karla made this cute little bunny to celebrate Easter! Easter is a special time for family, food and remembrance. Everyone has special memories of their favorite Easter… but mine is always the one that is happening today.
We settled on making a wonderful Greek inspired dish “Reddened Leg of Lamb!”
Happy Easter to you and yours!
We spent a couple of days down at the University of Southern California and dropped in on a friend, Professor Jennifer Floto. If you don’t know Jenn, then you are not in public relations. In my humble opinion, Dr. Floto is one of the reasons that USC was ranked by Public Relations practitioners as the number one Public Relations program in the United States.
We see a lot of rankings about various programs, but in today’s very competitive environment, the program that has the alumni network, the educational breath and the contacts is the one that will help a student find, acquire and succeed in the field of Public Relations. Who is better to evaluated these academic programs better than the people who are already in the field and responsible for hiring the next leaders in PR?
Congratulations, Trojans!
Two pictures are above: a version of a popular British motto in WW2 also used in the popular series Dr. Who… that we could resist getting for my daughter, fellow alumna Karen. On the right, the future 2nd building for the wonderful Annenberg complex which includes the top ranked Public Relations Program.
In an age of increasingly reducing budgets, its uplifting to see one University continuing to dazzle! FIGHT ON!
Most of the time I talk about food and family on my blog and I try to stay away from things that upset an evening’s brandy in front of the fire. However, the shrill marketing approach out of Washington is a bit over the top, the New York City uber rich mayor’s latest effort to control the world with his money and local California Senators complaining about gun control all the while bristling with weapons themselves… is unsettling at best.
There is an effort — again out of Washington — to divided and pit people against each other for their own personal gain. They’ve enlisted the usual wacked out celebrities, hypocrites and opportunists to carry water for them on gun control.
One would think getting the country moving forward would be high on the agenda, creating new jobs, factories and the like… but again, I am naive.
So, let me recommend to you that you might like to participate in this discussion by joining the NRA (even if you have never fired a gun) and receiving training and go on a hunt and experience what life and living is all about. I have a few links to the right that might help you get started!
You have a right called the second amendment … it is worth experiencing & learning more about!
I think we have all heard about the so-called health benefits of red wine and I think it tends to make most of us smile a little. We smile when some folks say they smoke marijuana for their glaucoma… it’s sort of the same thing.
However, I have been taking RESVERATROL now for about a month and I am a bit surprised at how much better I feel… granted I am taking the equivalent of 4000 glasses of wine… but it seems to be more than an expected placebo effect.
Anyway, just thought I’d mention it.
Are you having a little corned beef for St. Paddy’s Day?
Here’s our contribution to this fun day:
