... when a great comedian dies?
Plenty of comedians attended his services last Sunday but it appears that only George Carlin himself was good enough to do the honors. His service included clips of his performances over the years. Now that's a tribute. http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_9741847
George was one of my earliest favorite comedians. My sister was somehow allowed to get his seven dirty word album when we were children and even our Mom laughed. He had such a unique perspective and since we shared a Catholic upbringing, he felt like a relative (with long hair.) His hippy dippy weatherman routines on Laugh-In still stand out in my mind - he was a smart comedian.
It has been a sad month - we lost both George Carlin and Tim Russert. Two famous people that felt like family. They were both authentic and real and knew how to make a connection with any audience and both shared their unique view of their respective worlds with us.

I am an accountant on a mission. I want to permanently remove the blight of BORING that has attached itself to members of my profession.
But the boring blight doesn't stop there. It's everywhere. I've found it in wineries (although it's a tad more palatable when served with alcohol), in science labs, even in Art museums. And technology people carry the "B" gene too. But the condition need not be fatal. I lecture around the country to accountants and technology audiences and I have a ball. I was a partner in an Atlanta CPA firm when I realized technology was my true passion and I have been fighting the nerd versus geek battle ever since. Through some stroke of absolutely amazing luck, I now find myself in Napa -- the most gorgeous, hospitable place imaginable. Are you on Twitter? You can follow my nerdy life there : evenanerd Contact me [email protected] I am a graduate of the Jeff Justice Comedy Workshoppe and the Persuasive Speaker course taught by Speechworks. I highly recommend both of these organizations. I have also taken training from the amazing Lynda Spillane. I am not unbiased, nor do I wish to be. I have done work for anyone and everyone in the software industry or the accounting profession. If I am not impressed by what you do or can't find an angle that is interesting or unique, I won't work for or with you. And if you are stodgy or boring, there are not enough dollars or even euros to make me help you. See samples of my writing here: www.salestaxradar.com www.mybizcounts.com  Archives
