The Monday Morning Memo

Jacob Williams, the youngest son of the wizard and Princess Pennie, is the mastermind behind the 2-year project called RomanticSpotsInAustin.com. If his pilot program proves to be sustainable, there will soon be a RomanticSpotsinYourTown.com, assuming of course that your town is at least as big as Laurel, Mississippi and you live somewhere in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, or South America. Who? Why? What the…? The wizard himself takes the mic today with his friend roving reporter Rotbart to shed some light on this mysterious intersection of love, romance, and money. – Indy Beagle

Roving reporter Rotbart and Roy H. Williams talk about Romantic Spots.
This is the ad airing in Austin right now.

Random Quote:

“Several decades ago, when treating substance abuse problems, psychologists developed a technique called motivational interviewing. The central premise: Instead of trying to force other people to change, you’re better off helping them find their own intrinsic motivation to change. You do that by interviewing them — asking open-ended questions and listening carefully — and holding up a mirror so they can see their own thoughts more clearly. If they express a desire to change, you guide them toward a plan. Say you’re a student at Hogwarts, and you want to help your uncle reject Voldemort. You might start like this:

You: I’d love to better understand your feelings about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Uncle: Well, he’s the most powerful wizard alive. Also, his followers promised me a fancy title.

You: Interesting. Is there anything you dislike about him?

Uncle: Hmm. I’m not crazy about all the murdering.

You: Well, nobody’s perfect. What’s stopped you from abandoning him?

Uncle: I’m afraid he might direct the murdering toward me.

You: That’s a reasonable fear — I’ve felt it too. Are there any principles that matter so deeply to you that you’d be willing to take that risk?

“
