Get Comfort-able: The prospective Ms. B loves to shop around Northeast Mall because six of her 1,031 favorite stores are within blocks of each other. All that shopping leaves Mr. B just enough money for the nearby $1.25 movie theater, which is 75 cents if you lie and say you're a senior citizen. Heading back to the B Mansion, the Bs passed the brand new, really sweet Comfort Suites and decided to stop in, it being Happy Hour and all. After a few appetizers and imbibes with rooms mother Norma Logan, we booked a Newz-E-Letter two-room suite decorated for Valentine's Day that includes a rose, a bottle of champagne, two keepsake flutes and dinner for two at the neighborly El Chico restaurant. And if you're feeling extra-special romantic, don't forget the nearby movie theater. There is life after the Super Bowl: Card? Check. Candy? Check. Roses? Maybe. Same-o, same-o for your partner this Valentine's Day? Why not allow Rocky Willett and his Texas Millionaires Chorus make it special and different? The Barbershop Quartet does it all, delivering a personalized card, a silk rose and two love songs, though Eminem/Rihanna is not on the playlist. When the prospective Ms. B comes up empty Feb. 14, Mr. B will be singing hisownself -- the Shirelles' Will You Love Me Tomorrow. Let Rocky rock your love on Valentine's Day.       A little snow never got in our way. Everyone who made it down to Sundance Square deserved to be in Picture of the Week. Thank you to all who supported, volunteered and worked so hard to make sure that Super Week was just that, despite the bazaar inclement weather. Thank you for helping make Fort Worth shine.     Sponsored by         Love songs: Mr. B can't win the Texas Millionaires Chorus Valentine's sing-along-giveaway, but he really does have music in his heart for the prospective Ms. B. So he called always-rosy CEO Ann Koonsman, who is even rosier since announcing her retirement from the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, and the biased exec recommended the FWSO's “Mozart and Brahms” featuring violinist Chee-Yun this Friday night. “It will put love in your hearts,” she didn't say. Nor did she offer any tickets. But with Ann in transition, marketing's marvelous Barb Bobiluscious Lewis snagged two from her office and voila, date night! Cuddly soft: Leblanc is her last name and la blank stares is what she first gets when she introduces herself and her business, The Velvet Box, a lingerie and novelty store. A blank stare ... and then a sly smile breaking into a larger one. Marcelle Leblanc usually is “the most interesting person in any group.” Her store skews upscale and is lots of fun. See for yourself; here's a $75 gift card just in time for Valentine's Day. Not too thorny: Need something a little more traditional to earn hugs from your honey? Nothing says "I'm yours” better than a dozen beautiful red roses for Valentine's Day. Except maybe two dozen. And now that Martha is off to the farm, Misty and Joni at Gordon Boswell Flowers let loose, celebrated and cranked up the sweetheart spirit with two dozen red roses in a beautiful vase. Boswell will make you boss (wo)man! Bowl me over: The B Mansion household can boast all it wants about its award-winning taco soup, but nooooooooo, it's still not good enough to make the soup line for the Feb. 18 Empty Bowls 2011 - An Artful Taste to End Hunger. The annual, noonish fundie benefiting the Tarrant Area Food Bank has all the best chefs from all the best eateries dishing up all the best savory soups, breads and desserts you can eat in handcrafted and hand-painted bowls donated by area artists. Two of you get to go and when you empty your bowl, you take it home with you. ESPNjoying: Lot of great moments sharing Sundance Square with the Bristolites. Some favorites:

Best Reality TV--Mike Micallef of Reata delivering breakfasts before 5 a.m. and watching Mike Golic chow down. Best Moment -- Fort Worth proud for the 300 or so hearty souls that attended the Monday 5 a.m. kickoff show. Mike Greenberg commented it was the largest opening-day crowd...by far. Best Interview -- The Gronkowski brothers -- Rob (Patriots), Dan (Broncos) and Chris (Cowboys) were as good as the Three Stooges. Best of the Best -- Saturday night in Sundance. Crazy!

Farewell concert: The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra might use CEO Ann Koonsman's retirement as a chance for a goodbye fundraiser. After 30-plus amazingly successful years, she's stage right...but not until July 31 so she still can get free tickets to Concerts in the Garden, which she started in 1990. Fund development dynamo Amy Adkins will be new President & CEO; she only has raised the bar for annual giving to about $50 million.

Memorable: Paul Leone might have the coolest office in Tarrant County. The executive producer at Small Business of the Year finalist Studios 121 worked six years at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. He's got some great memorabilia.

Oh...those guys: You may not be too familiar with Small Business of the Year finalist ZS Pharma or its CEO Alvaro Guillen and COO Jeff Keyser. But one product they developed you probably know -- Mucinex. Keyser also was at the forefront of the development of Nicorette CQ and Nicorette Gum. ZS Pharma is developing a tablet to lower ammonia and potassium levels in bodies of people with kidney and liver diseases. It is a TECH Fort Worth client and does much of its lab work at UNT Health Science Center.

Hear ye, hear ye: Mr. B expected to fall asleep during the Chamber breakfast on taxes by CPA Susan Roberts of Sanford, Baumeister & Frazier. He didn't. In fact, he laughed...a lot. She's a terrific speaker, mixing tax talk, taunts and tirades. Susan doesn't need a microphone; in fact, Mr. B didn't need his hearing aids. Here's some of what she boomed:

• Oh, go ahead and deduct the total cell phone bill as a business expense.
• 2011 is a great year to buy a “luxury” auto and get $8k more on your initial deduction.
• If you're buying a building for more than $400k, get an appraiser or engineer to do a cost segregation study and save big on taxes.
• You itemizers can't file until mid-to-late February because some tax laws were changed so late.

Investor relations: CEO Tim Carter solved his marketing situation when investors get too pesky. OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc., the parent of OmniAmerican Bank, put long-time newshound Wes Turner on its Board of Directors. Turner, a consultant with Advance Newspapers, can write sweet quarterly reports and then sell investors on Omni's results.

At your service: Bankers and financial planners always are selling personal service/relationships. So here come new members and MDs Noushin Firouzbakht and Darren Tate, and they’re selling “really personal attention.” They are the medical staff of Fort Worth Female Health Associates and we’re thinking OB/GYN is something demanding “personal attention.”

Liberally speaking: Imagine being a fly on the wall when improvising and interactive Newz-E-Letter sponsor Four Day Weekend went to D.C. The comedy troupers performed a team building/communication seminar at the 2011 House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference and met President Obama.

Tax facts: Last year, Mr. B called the Star-Telegram's free CPA hotline for tax advice. Nice woman laughed and said you don't have to worry about taxes at 37.5 cents an hour. You're probably not so fortunate, so if you need help, it's a tax freebie hotline this Sunday.

Tax free: But Mr. B still has to file a tax return and Catholic Charities Diocese of Fort Worth and United Way of Tarrant County offer it for free at multiple locations and times for individuals/families with a combined household income of $50,000 or less. Mr. B has to work 80 years to reach the $50k level.

Stick with me: Son NoBGood got skewed sideways at Summit and 30 last week in the sleet & snow and called Dad for ADvice. Dad said call 9-1-1. NoBGood called back an hour later and said he couldn't find the number for 9-1-1. So Mr. B called new member Unstuck Company. Ooops. Owner Tom Sheives doesn't tow; he speaks and consults to improve individual and company performance. Son NoBGood may still be stuck; he hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Field trip: While your outside-the-school sojourns probably were to a zoo, TCU Neeley Business School alums are planning a trip to Spain.

Running With Scissors: OK, so Am-Bass-Adorables are at Meritage Homes in far east Fort Worth tomorrow and MiraVanti Cooperative at Ridgmar in west Fort Worth Tuesday. No AAdvantage miles, unfortunately, for these homing pigeons. The Meritage Homes ribbon cutting is its first greenest-of-the-green communities. The homes are so energy efficient that they turn on/turn off lights, flush and wash/dry for you. Gives you more time to earn your own green. Meritage will have all the inner workings of these efficiencies on display.

Need a chauffer: Just a fair warning for you drivers: Daughter MisBehavin', in the bottom 1% of California's driver ratings, is going to be in Texas Feb. 24-28. Have travel, with car! You be the judge: Seriously!  Students will be running amok in Sundance Square with competitive spirit much like Steelers fans March 3-5 when the Texas Business Professionals of America brings its State Leadership Conference to the Fort Worth Convention Center. More than 2,500 Texas students, including nine from Fort Worth ISD, have qualified in a quagmire of competitions and the association needs judges. Register here.

What women want: Mr. B was Going Red at Baylor All Saints Medical Center's Andrews Women's Hospital this Saturday for a free lunch and free seminar (key word is free) as they sponsor an event with the American Heart Association. Then he realized it was just for women, which still wouldn't be a bad place to hang except if the prospective Ms. B reads this. Maybe there's a media table and it could be "work-related?" Anyway, if you are a woman and have a heart, you can go. Did we mention it was free?
