My Tote Bag, Myself

Actual Photo of Wonder Woman and me

The golden lassoed lady always has my back. When I’m on the bus, she holds my memoirs, worn notebook, and gel pens in her turquoise, star-dotted lap. I can give her a business card or research print-out and she’ll gladly file them for later in her red shellacked boot. We don’t take an Invisible Plane to work, at least not everyday. We'll take the city bus in, where we (OK, she watches me) annoy Jeff with questions about what fortune cookies mean for my life. When my coffee clutch of bus friends ask if that’s really her, I say yes, it’s really Wonder Woman. 

On my book bag.

Let Lynda Carter brighten your day like she does on my canvas tote. Watch as her boomerang tiara pierces that evil doer's flotation device. You're welcome.

 

Happy Beginning of the Work Week!

The Power Lunch

Steve Kerrigan

Last week, I went out for a sandwich and came back with local star sightings. One particular lunch spot in Charlotte is the hub for bankers, celebrities, and very important businesspeople (VIBs) to order $7 sandwiches. While in line, Steve Kerrigan, CEO of the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, strode past me, flanked by two angular VIBs. Kerrigan and I had met after his luncheon speech a couple of weeks ago. When I said, "Hello Steve," his eyes flickered. He replied, "Hello," either because he was stunned at the random greeting or remembered me. I just hoped he took my concerns to heart that day. His plan for including local businesses in DNC festivities is vital to our community.

John Boyer

After inhaling my chicken pump, I went to a drug store for a typical after sandwich activity: Buying new lipsticks. As I settled on Apricot Fantasy and Champagne on Ice (buy one get the second 50% off!), another powerful executive was paying at the register: John Boyer, President and CEO of the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, looking elegant with his coiffed gray hair and neat suit. We chatted at an event last fall and he complimented my dress. Today, unfortunately, he left before we could discuss what we bought. I'm sure he would have loved my excellent lipwear choices. The man obviously has great taste.


It's easy to have a power lunch in Charlotte. Everyone can agree on a good sandwich. There's something for everyone at the drug store. You just need to know who you're looking for.
