Tonight I get to sit on The Couch with a skilled new singer-songwriter, Ms. Danika Holmes and also sit with the guys from Hot Buttered Rum.So yesterday was a day spent with someone from my corporate office who is charged with building a process for those who do direct mail like I do. Never mind that I have built over 20 process charts for multiple companies over the years.
There must be a better way that everyone can follow…well, that is really not the case since each person managing direct mail are under different constraints set by their client and the fact that all direct mail programs are different.
Long long day and it kept me from all my other work, so today I will be slammed again.

THE COUCH was saddened to hear of the passing of Byron Nelson, one of the greats in the game of golf, and one of the great men to have lived in the past century.Nelson lost many chances at major championships due to World War II. In 1945, while The Masters was postponed, Nelson won 18 tournaments including a record 11 in a row. In his career, Nelson won 52 professional events. After 1946, Nelson curtailed his schedule although he continued to make regular appearances at The Masters as a ceremonial starter for many years.
Nelson's record of 113 consecutive cuts made is second only to Tiger Woods' 142. It should be noted that the PGA Tour defines a "cut" as receiving a paycheck, even if an event has no cut per se. In Nelson's era, only the top 20 in a tournament received a check. In reality, Nelson's "113 consecutive cuts made" are representative of his unequalled 113 consecutive top 20 tournament finishes. Woods has only managed 21 consecutive top 20 finishes in his career.
THE COUCH sends out it's best wishes to our friend Ann and her mom who was put into intensive care yesterday. Ann...we are praying for mom.AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG...What is going on in our world people????Well it appears the NCAA (the governing body of college athletics, is not totally brain-dead. This bodies rules bok makes "War and Peace" look like a Cliff Notes publication it is so immense.
Fahmarr & Ray RayThanks for sitting on THE COUCH, hope you enjoyed your stay.
