What We can Learn from Manny Pacman!

Spent an extraordinary day yesterday.

One of those days that you live your life to experience.

I first picked up my precious daughter (L) from her SAT test.

She didn't come out until 1:30 PM and that gave me over an hour to speak with the pretty Kim who was waiting for her daughter.

I would have loved to ask Kim out.

But there was one problem.

Kim was getting married tomorrow (today).

It reminded me of Charles Grodin's line in the original Heartbreak Kid which was far superior to the sequel with Ben Stiller.

Grodin, playing Lenny, a salesman who was in Miami Beach for his honeymoon, ran into the lovely (at the time) Cybil Shepherd.

Lenny had this to say to Cybil's straight laced dad, played by the incomparable Eddie Albert.

I HAVE FALLEN HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER, SIR.

THERE IS ONE MINOR PROBLEM.

I AM HERE ON MY HONEYMOON. I MADE THE FATAL MISTAKE A FEW DAYS BACK, BUT I PROMISE SIR AS SOON AS I CAN EXTRICATE MYSELF FROM THAT PROBLEM, I WILL BE STAKING MY CLAIM TO YOUR LOVELY DAUGHTER.

So Kim wouldn't go out with me.

She has plans this weekend.

And by the way, today is also her birthday and tomorrow, she leaves (with her new husband I would imagine) to Hawaii for their honeymoon.

Congratulations, Kim.

Now where was I?

LT and I had lunch. The poor girl hadn't eaten all morning.

We shopped, talked and laughed away the afternoon.

At night, I rewarded her second straight year of STRAIGHT A'S with sumptuous repast at Ruth Chris. Our favorite steakhouse.

Then it was on to her brother's house (ST) where we watched the Pacquiao-Hatten championship prizefight.

Pac destroyed hatten with a second round KO with a devastating Left to the chin.

If you like KO;s, get your hands on this clip.

The punch almost killed Hatten. He was on his back, out stone cold, for several minutes.

ST surprised LT wit tickets to Cold Play later this summer.

It was quite a night for my family.

It was quite a night for LT.

She will be heading off to SDSU in one year to be Hollywood's next great film director.

Now, if you want to glean how Pacman's philosophy can help you in your sport or your child's sport.....

If you want to put more punch in your speaking and writing skills or

IF you want to become a dynamite networker and start your own LIFE COACHING practice, my mentoring one-one classes are full through May.

I have some openings for June.

Thanks LT.

Thanks ST

I lucked out when it comes to children.

I am wealthy beyond belief.
