(Fill in the blank) Timberlake: It's just 10 days until what could be the weekly college football Game of the Decade when the OU Sooners play Mr. B's almost alma mater Florida State, which kicked B out with 17 credit hours remaining. No hard feelings, except a little jealousy that Josh Edwards of Kforce is attending. Mr. B and Sooner son NoBGood will be watching on the 22-inch big screen and B has quite the surprise: A pair of boots with the FSU Seminole logo on each boot that will kick Sooner son tail ... win or lose. Fall is in the air--somewhere--and you'll want boots made for walking and nobody does it better than Justin Boots. Mr. B line danced with PR pal Lisa Lankes and she said if he mentioned Randy Watson and Jamie Morgan (done) that she would provide a gift certificate for one pair of his or hers Justin boots, but nothing exotic. The place to B: By Saturday, September 24, the heat will have abated and Mr. B will spend the entire day shaving the doors in the B Mansion so they once again will close and the electric bill will once again drop below $700 a month. You, on the other hand, might have time before the TCU football game to spend the Day in the District and do so for free. Eight cultural destinations will offer free admission and many free performances in and around each destination. The eight are the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, Fort Worth Community Arts Center, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, Kimbell Art Museum, Log Cabin Village, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. If you miss the free fantastic fun that day, Kendal (Jump in the) Lake of The Modern brokered a deal for two giveaway packages:

Picture of the Week     Alcon Labratories, Inc., A Novartis Company, the global leader in eye care, was founded more than 60 years ago in Fort Worth. South Area Council Membership luncheon attendees at Colonial Country Club heard from Alcon's Franck Leveiller (center), VP, Head of Research & Development of Vision Care, pictured with Platinum Sponsor Charter Business representatives Tony Obas (left) and Miguel Cruz (right).

• 1) Four admissions to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, An American Collection catalogue from the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and four tickets to the Caravaggio exhibition at the Kimbell Art Museum.
• 2) Four passes to Log Cabin Village, four tickets to the Omni Theater and four tickets to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.

School daze: Summer nearly is over and the interns are gone, back to school. And now you have no one to boss around all day. Brighten up, though, because TCU career-ists Jessica Cates and Ashley Grubbs (that is an ‘s', not a ‘y') have the solution to your question: “Now who is going to fetch lunch?” They are presenting the TCU Fall Career and Intern Expo September 21 from 4-7 p.m. and you can meet the best and brightest. A company registration is good for one employer to bring two representatives and it includes a booth and a meal for trey, we think. We have a registration even though it's sold out.

Bye, Bye Love: It appears that the break-up with Art Garfunkel and then Christie Brinkley hasn't hurt Paul Simon. He is working at Meacham Airport with Baker Aviation, which offers private charters, rentals and leasing.

15-second commercial: Chamber asked that there be some mention of the golf tourney Sept. 19 and some mention that Small Business of the Year nominations are due Sept. 30. That was some mention.

Awaiting a solution: Executive Director Judy McDonald is celebrating 15 years with Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County and still hasn't found Mr. B a job that pays more than the Chamber's 39 cents an hour. Fishing for a compliment: Maybe it is ok to do so when you are No. 1 and not just someone's fish wrap. Don Harkrider, owner of the local franchise of Fish Window Cleaning, won the Top Sales Award and the Pinnacle Award for adding more than 500 new customers and exceptional revenue growth during 2010.

This is type-casting? Let's see, casting for the Sound of Music and we need a nun. Oh, how about quiet and stately Christy Blackwell of Cockrell Enovation? You, too, can see her Sept. 15-24 during the Christ Chapel Bible Church stagefest.

(intoned) NO. 11, playing quarterback...: That melodious public address announcer for Southwest Christian School football is Brad Dowell, attorney with Cantey Hanger.

Mother's nature: In a minority of one, Christina Judge of CASA of Tarrant County was thrilled to be back in sultry, drought-stricken Texas after what was supposed to be “a relaxing week visiting mom on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.” She experienced an earthquake while sitting on the beach and a hurricane evacuation.

Sunshine-y days: The summer's record heat was a cool blessing for consultant Gary Chenoweth of Professional Energy Management. “I'm paid by the kilowatts used.”

Forget-me-not: Cardagin provides an app that allows local retailers to reach smart phone users in their area with specials, sales and deals. CEO Rob Masri says the company name is because he always was forgetting to bring his loyalty cards and would ask, “Can I get that loyalty card again?”

Two news ‘apps': Mr. B may be gaining some negotiating leverage against boss Miserly Mistress. That Tower 55 Multi-Modal railroad work near downtown is bringing in 900 jobs and Chase is hiring 700 for a call center. Mr. B can toot his own horn and loves to talk, so opportunities abound.

Kudos Korner: Bob Pence, CEO of Freese and Nichols, was recognized by the Fort Worth Business Press as CEO of the Year for a private company.  Drew Myers, Director of Business Development for J.O. Design, a marketing agency, was selected one of 14 Community Heroes by Safeco Insurance. A $2,000 donation will be made to Presbyterian Night Shelter in his name. And TECH Fort Worth has been recognized with the Tech Titans Technology Advocate for 2011 award and its client, Encore Vision, won the Emerging Company Horizon Award.

Sales strategy: It is sweet being customers of Pepper Hudson at Pepper-L Specialties. She leaves candy jars at their offices and keeps them full. Of course, those candy jars have her logo on them. 

Full circle: At 19, Tricia Haber began her working career as a part-time teller at Bank of America. Today she is an extraordinary networker and financial planner with Merrill Lynch, which was bought by Bank of America.

Love happens: Saturday is Debra Flores' 33rd anniversary. Mr. B congratulated the American National Bank assistant manager: “Wow, married 33 years! ... To the same guy?” Said Debra: “Well, of course...high school sweethearts.”

Who knew? Meredith Schaefer of Aspen Global Back Office is the daughter of Craig Schaefer, who is developing dollars for the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.

Home, sweet home: Before TCU home football games, Frog Alley is the place for fun. And a place to relax, too, now that World of Wellness has set up three massage chairs.
