Thursday morning, polls are still open, I'm leading by 30 votes, my chances look good, thank you Team Linda. So in anticipation of a note from John asking for a biography, I've started putting one together. I'm a little torn tho... should I go with humble beginnings, finding God and the amazing secret of my success, or... Army brat, schooled at Lycee du Paris, graduated Magma Cum Loud @ Hanvard School of Business. I do like the Kung Fu expert thing also. Maybe I could kinda put them all together. Any tips? Bob

Just be yourself! Be Real. But no Mutant Ninja Turtle stuff! Even if it is real! :-)

Hello le-Bob, I think they should close this poll and annoint you as le-winner of le-POTW. Last I saw there were 243 votes and you were clearly in front with 83. Second place was on 55 and third on 48. Makes you kinda wonder what they are waiting for huh? As for your "acceptance speech" try to leave out all those meetings with his holiness the Pope and his recklessness, George W. The army brat thing could be interesting though. Do you still have your kevlar helmet and flak jacket? (Wanna sell 'em? huh? huh?) I've never heard of "Magma Cum Loud." Is that a University on Mt Vesuvius or one of THOSE girls in one of THOSE movies? Er le-Bob, leave the Donatello Kung Fu bit with yours truly. In my book le-Bob you are le-winner! Cowabunga dude!

I won, I won! O.k. I'll leave out pontificating with the Pontiff and my bushwhacking with the Pres. How about in 1979 when I was voted "The Nicest Guy in Canada"... when I met my wife, I had her convinced that was true, she told her sister. (But she didn't believe that I invented peanut butter). ------------------------------- In my book le-Bob you are le-winner! ------------------------------- Gary, I read your book, (Using Motivation and Self Esteem) and nowhere does it mention le-Bob! But it is a terrific book and recommend it to everybody, not just for net-work, but for life. Thank you for it. On to next week... Linda has nominated Deborah Skovran. Be sure and get your vote in. http://www.dipetane.net/html/feature_of_the_week_vote_-_24t.html I hope you all have a fun filled, magical Christmas. Bob
