Dear Subscribers,
Greetings from the high desert. The full/super-moon rise was spectacular. The wi-fi…no so much. So, quick before it dumps out again:
After a couple of mid-west college visits, where I didn't bring a fake kid and we didn't bribe anyone to get to the front of the pack on the walk-backwards tours, it's been a close-to-wifi-free week in West Texas. It's not every week that I could say, "last night I threw horseshoes with Jeff & Jimmy." We were waiting for our table to be ready in the only dinner joint in town. I borrowed the house 'shoes for my match. Jeff, brings his own 'shoes with him to play with. "Just throw 'em in the back of the truck." Although I am a seasoned bocce player, which both Jeff & Jimmy are big fans of as well, the 'shoe-throw is a whole 'nother thing. After a couple of absurd tries, including an errant arm motion that caused the trajectory of the horseshoe to be so surprisingly off that I nearly beaned someone behind me, I got my desert legs and didn't embarrass myself too badly. Well, actually I did, but I don't embarrass easily and, I have to say, Jeff & Jimmy were very, very polite about it. Very.
So, while blissfully unaware of much of the news this week, it appears that lots of news still happened. So hopefully my quick comb-through is just about all you need to know about women in business, politics, news, and the culture on both coasts and in between, too.
Thank you for all the designer recommendations off of my request of last week. I have them listed, sites and portfolios ready to be looked at, upon my re-arrival coming out of Spring Break next week.I really appreciated the recommendations. It was great to see some new, fresh creative minds out there and it was especially sweet to reconnect with many old friends and work-friends near and far.
It was also especially helpful, this week, to get so many great submissions-- thank you-- and do continue to send me articles, photos, or videos you think are interesting, important, or amusing here.

The LZ Sunday Paperâ„¢ launched at the dawn of 2014. We expose and recirculate interesting content that is about, and frequently by, women in business, with a dose of ultra-relevant culture. We think that culture comes high and low, not much in between. Our audience is vast and not gender-driven. Every week we expect to deliver at least one good laugh. Send suggestions, clips, or names of people you think might enjoy this to LZSundayPaper@gmail.com.
