1. Sheena Quinn
was one of the first people I worked with at Public Communications Incorporated
(PCI). She was smart, savvy, strategic, fun and funny. How’s that for a
combination? She definitely eased my transition from journalism to PR and communications
It was always clear she was going places. After more than
a decade at PCI, the White Sox smartly hired her as Director of Public
Relations. She also married a musician, Peter Purvis of Gaelic Storm fame, and they now have
two beautiful children.
Sheena, a Marquette University graduate, was featured in
an excellent video the school released Sunday for the Class of 2020. On the
video, Sheena joined a list of heavy-hitting alumni that included Dwyane Wade, Glenn
“Doc” Rivers, Steve Novak and Jen Lada (those were just the sports ones)!
Have watched this multiple times and it so good. Hope you
enjoy as well.
2. I laughed
(often hysterically) my way through Waiting
for Guffman in the movie theatre. Fred
Willard, a master straight man and comedic actor who died at age 86 on Friday,
hit it out of the park in that mockumentary. As was pointed out on Twitter, see if you
can count how many consecutive dentist jokes he rips through in ten seconds.
3. As part of
Liam’s e-learning today, the teacher asked parents to help their child identify
3-D shapes around the house. I’m willing to do just about anything for Liam, but
I draw the line at spheres and prisms. As for cones and cubes? Out of the question!
4. Still reeling
from the 3-D shape request, I tried to relax by reading the New York Times. Instead, almost as if it was taunting me, I came
across a feature for the publication’s tile matching game that was described as
“soothing,” and “may help you de-stress.” There is nothing soothing about tiles,
especially when combined with matching! Of course, given the unique nature of Bobproof’s
brain, you may find it zen
and chill. Let me know what you think if you give it a try.
5. Can’t end
on a stressful note. Let’s close strong with two of Sheena’s favorite Gaelic
Storm songs. Gaelic Storm plays us off with “Lover's Wreck” and “Samurai Set.”
