The Corporate Library

Ever heard of this? The Corporate Library, founded in 1999 by Nell Minow and Robert A. G. Monks. Information and databases about corporate governance. I like to read about the executive and director compensation (what/how executives get paid). When Super Nova Marketing San Francisco has grown to Super Nova Marketing Universe, that information will come in handy!!

Did I tell you about Claire's 2-minute performance tonight? http://mindyfarris.blogspot.com

Had brunch with Ms. Nola Barnes, cousin Sarah's "Aunt-in-law." I hope I'm that energetic when I'm 82. Heck, I wish I had her energy now, at half her age!

I am sitting in the window seat of Marthas cafe Mission St across from Dolly Ann for Hair, which advertises spa, chi machine and hot house.

My Brother Brett's Secret

My brother's girlfriend Sandy just got in contact with me, thanks to Twitter; I haven't seen her since his funeral. She gave me these pictures that she took, which are the last ones ever taken of Brett; within two weeks he was dead at age 30. I asked her what he was doing when she took the pictures. She said Brett was drawing fashion designs--and I was shocked because I had never even seen him draw, nor did he mention an interest in fashion! Sandy said that she has lots of his drawings, and she will share them with me.



























I know the reason that Brett kept his interest in fashion design a secret is because he would've caught even more hell from all the macho people in our family and town. They already gave him a hard time about his appearance, calling him "sissy" and other things I don't care to write here.

He doesn't look very well in these pictures and he's even pouring some Austrian liqueur into his coffee. Even so, he has that absorbed, creative look that shows the spark that was within him til the last moment. The drugs and drink couldn't extinguish his creative fire...

Optimism and Hope in 2010

Hello Everyone! Happy New Year and New Decade.
Spent the holidays with my cousin Sarah who came to town; missed the rest of the folks back home, but couldn't really justify the expense of going back there. I'm sure that things will pick up financially.
Meanwhile, I am grateful for what I do have.
I am happy to report that I only had one glass of champagne on New Year's Eve! The treatment for over-drinking that I received from Suzie Baker really worked!

Please see the new video that Claire Bain made with me about my amazing treatment at the Rising Sun Institute of Spiritual Cooking. The video is on Youtube and it's called "Egg Nova On." It is in three parts.; the total running time is 18 minutes. I like Claire's idea to make the soundtrack be the phone conversation we had about the project.
