An Ode To Skinny B

I don't know if everyone heard, but Barbara was recently nominated for a "Women in Business Award" which is an annual award given by the Orange County Business Journal. The award is intended to recognize business women in Orange County who have made a significant contribution to both the business world and the community. I think Barbara was an excellent candidate. She works like a maniac and is involved in so many other pediatric groups. She cooks, she cleans, she diets. She builds things, paints things, grows things. There really seems to be nothing she can't do.

I just got back from the awards luncheon and am very disappointed that Barbara did not win. Even though the panel was foolish not to pick her, I wanted to reinforce that I think she absolutely 100% deserved it. We all know she is SuperWoman. And I guess that is all that matters (but the award would have been nice too!).

I do take small consolation from the fact that the winners' resumes read something like this:

"Mary grew up in a shack with no electricity and had to put herself through school by candlelight. After overcoming an amputation in high school, Mary went on to compete in the Olympics as a champion synchronized swimmer. While, concurrently earning her B.A., B.S., M.B.A., Ph.D. and M.D. Mary single-handedly developed both a vaccine for AIDS and a cure for cancer. In her free time, Mary works at a soup kitchen in Bolivia, where she found her 13 adopted refugee children. Mary also donates over a gazillion dollars to various charities each year and teaches Sunday school at every church in a 100 mile radius."

But I hope everyone will join me in letting Barbara know that we all love her and think she is the greatest!!
