Just for the Record
I don’t believe in curses. Read this article. Yuck.
I believe in hard work, in staying with it, and in incremental improvement until you get it right.
The assumption of a curse also demeans the level of competition you play against.
Belief in curses is an easy way out and an easy justification for losing.
I also don’t appreciate headlines like this one “A Cursed Franchise? Obviously.”
Not cool. Not cool at all. That is loser talk and I don’t let losers in my life. You shouldn’t either.

Thank You C-SPAN
C-SPAN conducted a long interview with me last month and it ran last night.
I thought it was an honor to be interviewed by C-SPAN’s founder and CEO Brian Lamb.
I also thank them so much for positively promoting my book “The Business of Happiness.” You can buy the book here from Amazon.com.
C-SPAN is a wonderful media outlet. Here is their web site and some more info on the interview. Thank you so much.
Polaroid “Kick, Save and a Beauty!”
Thank goodness for “The Impossible Project!”
If you own and love your old Polaroid camera you can now get film from this innovative company.
These folks are so smart. They bought a Polaroid factory and they are making a “go” of it.
Support them. This is a great concept and a great set of needed services. Who says impossible is impossible? Click here to learn more.

“In My Day We Have Phone Book – NOT Facebook”
Betty White killed it. Click here for her monologue on SNL.
Some of what she says is genius about Facebook.
WWBWD - What Would Betty White Do?!
I feel like I don’t use Facebook the right way and for that I feel old and bad.
She has me thinking…
By the way, check out the Betty White muffin skit. It’s a new classic like the Schwetty Balls skit with Alec Baldwin several years ago.

Washington Mystics Attendance Banners
I was walking around the Verizon Center with Dick Patrick today and I asked one of the senior executives at the building about the Mystics attendance banners. And after some discussion we decided to take them down.
The only banners we should display revolve around winning a division or conference or league championship.
So to all of the folks who have emailed me your thoughts over the years about the attendance banners– as a heads up know they are no longer up in the rafters.
I hope we can put up some real championship banners based on team performance soon.
If you are unhappy about this change yell at me and only me.
Thanks…Go Mystics.
I also walked in and watched some of the Mystics practice today at the Verizon Center. The coach was drilling and running the team and prospects pretty hard which was great to see.
I hope to see you at some games here this summer.
