What's It To You: Clay Walker, who will appear at Billy Bob's Texas July 16, had a No. 1 Billboard country smash hit with “If I Could Make a Living.” The song is based on Walker's conversations with Mr. B after his nightmarish Chamber contract negotiations with boss Miserly Mistress. Clay's most recent CD -- “She Won't Be Lonely Long”-- was a text he sent Mr. B after a devastating 2009 breakup. Touching, huh? But Mr. B will be at Billy Bob's to see his pal, and marketing master Princess Pam claymation-ed five pair of tickets for you to join us. Modern, and cool, too: The incredible art, the wonderful independent movies and the cafe cooking of Dena Pederson all could top your list of favorite things at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, but this time of year, air conditioning has got to be up there. What better way to spend a sultry summer day than sashaying through the gallery or sitting comfortably in the intimate theater. Kendal (jump in the Lake) Smith can make that happen for two winners, with two gallery and two Magnolia at the Modern admissions (through August) for each. Hot stuff: Marcelle LeBlanc, who runs The Velvet Box, soon will be running The Velvet Boxes. A second lingerie location, 2917 Morton, between Fred's and that 7th Street-area safari cigar bar, opens this summer. LeBlanc always has had some velvety moves; she was a competitive salsa dancer during her days in Los Angeles. If you want to salsa, samba, swing or just boot-scoot in, this $50 gift card will add some spice to your purchase.

Picture of the Week     Bunny Gardner (right), president of Friends of the Fort Worth Public Library, presented a check for $25,000 to Assistant City Manager Susan Alanis (center) and Library Director Gleniece Robinson (left) at the grand opening of the E-Skills Library and Job Center (formerly the Meadowbrook Branch Library) off E. Lancaster Monday. The center offers 17 desktop computers available for public use and 20 laptops for training in a classroom offering job-related classes. Materials in the center include books and magazines focusing on job-search techniques, interviewing tips, computer skills and more. Funding for the project was provided by the City of Fort Worth, Friends of the Fort Worth Public Library Inc., Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County and through a Loan Star Libraries Grant. The Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce helped plan the project and will provide promotional assistance. See more photos.   Sponsored by

Putts for dough: Mr. B was surprised one day to receive a student “update” report from the University of Oklahoma, postmarked Thackerville, while son NoBGood purportedly was matriculating. Turns out he was majoring in golf, with a minor in poker. Turns out Thackerville is home to WinStar World Casinos. And turns out NoBGood was winning at poker to pay for his golfing. The WinStar Golf Course is quite friendly, with five tees so you can play from 4,900 to 7,300 yards. Open, wide fairways make it a shotmaker's course. Morgan Ambrose is quite friendly, too, and she has a voucher for two rounds of golf.

Getting to know you, getting to know all about you: A shout out to Chris Munizza representing AXA Advisors for his volunteer facilitation of the Getting to Know Your Chamber events. Next one is tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. at the Fort Worth Club. The event is free, informative and great for networking.

Feeling (the) Blue: Fort Worth gets its just desserts at the end of this month when Blue Bell opens its second area facility, this one near Heritage Trace Parkway. Hoping branch manager Charles Weiss is planning a ribbon cutting that includes all-you-can-eat treats.

Heartwarming: Reagan Ferguson of Summit Press heard a story about an elderly, recently-widowed, disabled woman that was having trouble getting around in her wheelchair. He mentioned it to Lupe Zamora of Zamora Construction, which donated and built concrete ramps.

Ins and outs of law: What kind of work does Lanter Westermann law firm not handle? According to attorney Josef Reimer, most everything except “no in-laws (family) and no outlaws (criminal).”

Bad Dad: Daughter MisBehavin and Mr. B long have had their struggles, as portrayed in Star-Telegrammer Dave Lieber's newest book. But Mr. B was thrilled when she asked him to do the fatherly things during her August wedding. “Dad, I made the arrangements. You can either participate via Go-To-Meeting or go to Studios 121 and do a satellite link.”

Work habit hallucinations: Wondering how many of you have piles of files on your desk? Is it a phobia that if you can't see it, you won't do it? Or is it that you just know where everything is? Does a clear desk equal a clear mind?

Survey says: Remember the Chamber's website re-design we told you about? Going to be done about the time the Trinity River Vision project is completed. Well, there is a six-question survey about the website, smart phones, app usage, social media, etc. that sure could use your attention so Chamber and AM Design can develop to your needs. Don't forget to mention you want Newz-E-Letter three times, but just send the prize info.

The kids are all right: You probably missed seeing the 19-year-old amateur from Fort Worth in last week's U.S. Women's Open golf tournament. It was Chelsea Mocio of Ridglea Country Club.

Here's the dirt: They are going to pour 2,750 cubic yards of new dirt at the Will Rogers Memorial Center for the Arabian, Cutting and other horse events. New clean dirt and it won't take long to fertilize that puppy. The old dirt is going outside for practice fields. Moooove along: Are you driven to be a drover? The Fort Worth Herd has part-time openings. Well, the openings are open full-time; the droving is part-time. Leading the way: Last fiscal year, the Texas Tornados Leads Group accounted for $4,000 in donations to Cenikor, which, according to Resource Manager Sandra Houston, puts seven people in treatment for two years.

Group hug: Cowtown Leads Exchange, which meets Thursday mornings, tries to mix fun with networking. Members recently were asked some thought-and-discussion provoking questions that might be good for your next team meeting. A sample:

• Would you rather always speak your mind or never speak again?
• Would you rather read everyone's mind or always know the future?
• Would you rather be rich and ugly or poor and good looking?
• Would you rather give up your computer or your pet?
• Would you rather cheat on somebody or be cheated on?

, M.D., Ph. D, Esq.: And now, Jennifer Perez is petitioning it to be Jennifer Perez, Webmaster. Or “Webmaster” Jennifer Perez. The Fort Worth ISD web wonder jokingly says she deserves more respect. She and Meghan Youker handle the district's site AND 132 individual school sites.

Are you Ken Jennings? And finally, want to impress a bored group with your trivia knowledge? This courtesy of Q Stephens, an attorney with Cantey Hanger and a treasure of trivia: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 is directly related to Studebaker's shutdown, which left career employees with next to nothing.
