5/4/06 Today With Patty ...

by Patty

The reception honoring Lieutenant Governor Bev Perdue last night was a great event, with many dynamic women business and political leaders in attendance. We spent the evening chatting and enjoying hors d’oeurvres and wine, then gathered to hear Bev speak about the initiatives dear to her heart. She is an inspirational leader of huge value to North Carolina and I am proud to know her.

Today I am pooped. I was in Greensboro speaking to the North Carolina Bankers Association about the value of PR, and it was the toughest crowd I have ever faced. They did not “get” me. Then again, most bankers do not get me—except for Mike Carlton, Jonathan Taylor and Ray Vaughn of Crescent State Bank.

There’s Something About Mari … Remember how I told you that Mari lives in this really old and scary pre-Revolutionary war house? Well, Mari set aside one of the rooms in that creepy old house for her children to play in. We called it the “nuclear room” because it always looked as though a nuclear bomb had gone off in the room.

Mari never cleaned that room. She would just close the door when guests came. When the children were playing in the room, it was like the bedroom in the old movie “Poltergeist,” where just about everything flew around and you never knew what you would get hit with when you tried to open the door.
