    Have you ever attended a business function put on by your company where the company had motivational speakers put on a presentation?  Have you ever wondered how organizations line up Celebrity Speakers to make presentations like that at their functions?  Well, these speakers have booking agents!  You can’t simply call up the famous person and say “hey, I want you to come speak at our graduation ceremony” (for the most part, anyway!)  You need to find their booking agent.

    In this day and age, with the Internet at our fingertips, that kind of info is easily obtained.  Not like in the “dark ages” where you relied on the local telephone book yellow pages!  The Creative Artists Agency has many famous celebrities available for speaking engagements.  Part of their service includes helping you to figure out which speaker would best fit the needs of the occasion.  I think that’s a pretty good service.

    I’ve never been able to swat a fly with my bare hand, have you? Well, our President has shown his ninja skills in his fly-swatting success! And of course, PETA is unhappy about it and has sent him a humane fly trap for future nuisance bugs! What a riot!

    With more people staying home for their vacations, I suspect that there will be a higher demand for Direct Satellite TV services.  People are cutting back on many of their expenditures, but let’s face it, you need to find ways to entertain your kids.  One of the most popular ways to entertain people is through watching television.  And having a Direct TV service that gives you hundreds of channels makes it more likely that you can find a show that is actually worth watching!

    Satellite Directv provides a wide variety of channeling and is often available in places where cable television isn’t.  The only setback I can think of is that sometimes you are limited to the number of television sets that you can hook up to the service before having to pay an extra charge.  And sometimes the service does not include the Internet, so you need to be taking a look at that as well.

    I love to cook on the grill. I think it appeals to my primitive “manly” side! We love to eat food that has been cooked on our grill. During the warmer seasons we put the grill out on the deck and have grilled burgers or steaks several times a week. In the cooler seasons, we put the grill in the garage and grill a little bit less often - but there are a few warmer winter days we can grill if it is a really sunny day and around lunch time; the garage will warm up enough so that we don’t mind cooking out there with the garage door open for however long it takes to get the food cooked.
