National Chamber Declares Dallas “Hot”
It's nice to have your work recognized. Even nicer when it's unsolicited.
That's why the Chamber and our travel marketing partners the Dallas Tavern Guild and the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau were so thrilled when the NGLCC - America's LGBT Chamber of Commerce featured Dallas as a "Hot" destination for LGBT travelers. The Dallas Tavern ...
There Are Consequences (Or Fried by Fry’s – Part II)
On December 10, I posted Fried by Fry’s. Although it may have seemed to be a rant (which it was) there really was more to it. Surprisingly, reporter Jill Griffin wrote a great article in the Austin Business Journal about me. Well, not about 'me' personally, but about unhappy customers. One unhappy customer can multiply ...
Fried by Fry’s (Part I)
Yesterday my sister (my actually sister not my ‘sister’) asked me to help find a good computer for our father. My partner and I had purchased a new desktop computer and she wanted something similar. I looked online and found what I believed to be a good system at a good price, so good that ...
I [Heart] FW
Last month I was driving home from our monthly Business Connections mixer in Fort Worth. As I tooled down I-30 recalling the people that I had met and the really, really good food a thought popped into my head. Oh my god, I like Fort Worth. No, I love Fort Worth!

I Learned the Truth . . .

It wasn’t planned, I didn’t go in search of enlightenment, but as Thursday turned to Friday and I began to look back over the previous two and a half days and the months leading up to them I found myself making mental notes, things that I had been reminded of ...
Class
Whatever happened to fair dealing
And pure ethics
And nice manners?
Whatever happened to ‘Please may I’
And ‘Yes thank you’
And ‘How charming?’
Why is it everyone now is a pain in the a**?
Whatever happened to class?
Nobody's got no class!
This song, from the show “Chicago” [the stage production, not the movie] has been rattling around in my ...
Won’t Someone Think of the Children!?
The day has arrived. Later today, the President of the United States is planning to address students across the nation today. Chances are we would have paid little to no attention to this address if not for the controversy that has been swirling around. You’d think that the President was trying to create an army ...
You’ve Been Read
I really try to keep this blog all about business, GLBT and Chamber issues. What else is there, right? Last month I skillfully discussed ‘what I did on my summer vacation’ in Lessons from Puerto Vallarta and I found a way to make it about the Chamber and GLBT business. But today I’m not even ...
