    Tina Pappas and Mark Sorrells captivate at Crumb de la Crumb Jazz Brunch I got to see my good (notice I didn't say "old" friends) friends Mark Sorrells and Tina Pappas perform at Crumb de la Crumb in Bellevue at lunch yesterday.  Our friendship goes back to the 1980s where they were both part of the Nashville music scene and both attended Belmont Church with me.

For almost a month, I have tried to reach Signature Lawn Care, but no one has bothered to return my calls.

Every fall I made sure he had me on his list for the following year and would call me when lawn mowing season started. Each year I had to call him over and over to get him to come out. Sometimes I had to call him multiple times through out the summer to keep him on schedule. He wasn't good about returning calls, and he wasn't always good about showing up.
