“He Didn’t Really Mean That”
Cantankerously Yours
“He Didn’t Really Mean That”
By Wendell Abern
Dear Readers,
By the early ‘70s, my career as an advertising copywriter seemed to be blossoming.
I had had a string of successes with commercials for several clients, had won important awards and had been promoted several times. I was no longer “The Kid.”
The only problem: my presence was now required at most client meetings.
While my attendance at meetings wasn’t a big deal, getting to them was. They were all out of town.
And I was afraid to fly.
No. Strike that. It wasn’t fear. It was sheer knuckle-whitening terror.
This was before the technological wizardry that revolutionized the corporate landscape. Teleconferencing didn’t yet exist. Cell phones hadn’t been invented. Computers were just beginning to peek over the horizon.
I worked for a few large Chicago advertising agencies whose clients were scattered all over the country, and I suddenly found myself flying somewhere at least once a week, and frequently twice. The mere thought of it made me shiver with fear. I could never sleep the night prior to a flight.
The only one who knew was Linda. Linda Reynolds was the account supervisor on Tide, Head & Shoulders, and a few other Procter & Gamble products. Terrific. Great brain, super with clients, and the one account exec that every writer wanted to work with, even though she was only 30 or thereabouts.
Linda traveled with me to every meeting in Cincinnati. One morning, after we’d settled in our seats and the plane was underway, she turned to me and said, “Are you afraid to fly?”
“No!” I lied. “Why?”
“Well, I became a little suspicious when we started taxiing down the runway and you grabbed my hand and started crushing it. Then I became convinced when we took off and you broke three of my fingers.”
She held up her limp hand, and I apologized profusely.
I swore her to secrecy, telling her I was getting help in therapy.
After that incident, even though I couldn’t afford it, I doubled my visits to Dr. Sherman, my shrink.
“We’ve gotta do something,” I said. “Procter & Gamble is in Cincinnati, I have to be in Detroit every Monday for Oldsmobile, and I’m now on Pepperidge Farm as well as Swanson Frozen Foods, and they’re both part of Campbell Soup Company in Philadelphia, and that’s not even taking into account all the production trips when commercials get produced, which is almost always in California, except when it’s in New York, and then …”
“You’re babbling,” Dr. Sherman said.
“I can’t help it! We have to do something!”
He gave me the name of a hypnotist, one J. Phillip Marshall.
I saw Mr. Marshall a few days later, then reported back to Dr. Sherman.
“It didn’t really go very well,” I said.
“Yes, I know. While I have sent several patients to Mr. Marshall, you are the only patient who has ever sent him back to me.”
“He came to see you after my visit?”
“Yes. You refused to be hypnotized. You refused to let go; you have to let go to go under if he’s going to help you. He was most distraught.”
“I hate to lose control.”
“Yes, I know. That may be the problem.”
Epiphany! Control! Clearly my big problem! Tentatively, Dr. Sherman agreed.
Control! The real reason I refused to drink, like everyone else; refused to smoke pot, like everyone else; refused to try new drugs, like everyone else.
Control! The reason I couldn’t fly! Control! I now knew the solution to my problem:
I signed up to take flying lessons.
I assumed if I knew how to fly an airplane, it wouldn’t threaten my bladder so intensely. I put down a $25 deposit with a small airline company in the Chicago suburb of Des Plaines and signed up for my first flying lesson the following weekend.
On Saturday morning, shivering with fear, I called and canceled. “Keep the $25 deposit,” I said.
“We’re just going to sit in the cockpit,” he said. “I’m just going to show you where the controls are.”
“No, you’re not! You’re going to lock the doors and kidnap me! Then you’re going to take off, and when we get up in the air, you’re going to let go of the steering wheel and tell me to take over, and I’m not coming out there, and you can keep your lousy $25!” And I hung up before he could say anything.
The following Tuesday, Linda and I had an afternoon flight to Philadelphia. I met her at the airport and decided to buy myself a drink instead of a box of Depends.
“I’ve never seen you have a drink,” Linda said.
“It’s been years. Hate the stuff. Maybe it’ll help.”
Much as I hated the taste, the pleasant effect settled me. After we’d boarded, the flight attendant came by and offered us small bottles of booze (free in those days). I accepted two Johnnie Walkers and chug-a-lugged one. As we took off, I started to giggle and hoisted the second one.
“To the grape!” I toasted loudly.
“Oh, Lord,” Linda whispered.
And so began two years of drinking before and during each flight. Two small bottles of anything. Scotch, gin, bourbon, vodka, it didn’t matter. I hated them all. But they all helped.
Linda loved to milk my new-found cure, constantly making up things I’d said and done to embarrass her. And every time we de-planed, she’d turn to the flight attendant, and in a stage whisper would say, “He didn’t really mean that.”
Then one clear day, flying over the beautiful Rockies, I thought … this is pretty nice. In fact, this is beautiful! After more than a half-million miles in the air, I had actually come to like flying!
That was in April of 1972. Haven’t had a drink since.
Cantankerously Yours,
Wendell Abern
US Building Inspectors
AW Spotlight
US Building Inspectors
By Sabeen Faquir
US Building Inspectors (USBI) has been in business since 2000. It was founded by Mike Carson, who owned, operated, and grew the company in Wellington, FL. In 2005, Patti Neri purchased the company and continued to grow it to the wonderful company it is today. Mike’s mission statement was: once the customer (buyer in most cases) has found the home, in the neighborhood and community in which they wish to reside, our goal is to present the facts of the functionality and findings of the home in order to enable them to make an informed decision on moving forward with the purchase of the home. Their realtor or real estate attorney can advise them from that point on.
I got the chance to ask Patti about changes that came to the business and she told me she took a homegrown company operated in Wellington, FL and expanded it to 4 counties (Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie). “As the needs of the company expanded, so did the staff, enabling us to meet the needs of our clientele (buyers, sellers, realtors, and real estate attorneys), who depend on our professionalism and attention to detail,” she told me.
The inspections have also grown to include ancillary services, such as mold and allergen inspections, and testing capabilities for both, as well as protocol writing for homeowners, public adjusters, insurance companies, and prospective homeowners. Other services are water testing for bacteria and other elements, Chinese Drywall inspections, and a separate team of a licensed general contractor, structural engineer, well water treatment service, termite company, septic company, gas inspection and installation company, and pool company to meet the needs of all types of property inspections.
I asked Patti, “What do customers need help with the most?” She answered that customers need help understanding that a home inspection is a functional inspection, not a new home construction inspection, implying that the property is a resale most of the time, and systems in the home are not expected to be as they were when they were new. Many need help understanding the windstorm mitigation and how it may benefit them, as well as disclosing all different types of services that USBI does, and those services they don’t. Some want lead, asbestos, and/or radon testing, and USBI refers them to another company. “Our most popular services are the comprehensive home inspection, windstorm mitigation, and wood-destroying organism inspection, which is the latter of these 3 services and performed by a licensed and insured pest control company,” said Patti.
The benefits of getting a building inspection are never-ending. Having a building inspection on a residential, equestrian, or commercial property and not skipping this very important process, as some do, is critical. “The buyer is aware of the faults and deficiencies, and also the need for maintenance of all parts of the home,” Patti told me. Whether the real estate pre-purchase contract is an “As Is”, or not, does not change the outcome of the inspection report. Having an inspection performed by a licensed professional enables the buyer to be informed about all facets of the property prior to moving forward with the purchase. It also enables the buyer to discuss with their advocate, i.e. realtor and/or real estate attorney, if further negotiations are an option, or if rescinding their offer due to unexpected issues is another option. The buyer could also move forward with the purchase, or get an extension to their due diligence period to request other trade professionals’ opinions about an item in the home, having something repaired, replaced, or treated for something.
“Peace of mind knowing they have had someone check all parts of the building, and to have full disclosure of what to expect once the closing has taken place is paramount to most people,” said Patti. A punch list of items is created with a building inspection report. Whether the buyer chooses to use this punch list to negotiate with the seller, or to go through the list of items in the inspection report to prioritize the most important, is up to the buyer.
Another great thing about USBI is that it gives back to the community. It is a resource to many homeowners and business owners. Due to their involvement in many areas of the community, they are able to provide homeowners and prospective homeowners with reputable companies they may need to hire. The Western Business Alliance has become an integral part of the Western Communities for business owners to network, and for USBI, it has taken the place of Chambers of Commerce, and networking referral groups. “I have spent many years as a member of several chambers and networking referral groups; however, every business owner has to do what is best for their business. Because of my involvement in the community for over 20 years now, I am able to point people in the direction of those who are ethical, professional, licensed, and insured, and help them avoid doing business with companies that may not have a good reputation,” Patti told me.
US Building Inspectors offers coupons all year long. They also offer discounts for any prospective buyer, seller, realtor, or real estate attorney. Yelp has been a wonderful resource because many of USBI’s customers see the rave reviews about the team. It’s also a thrill for Patti when customers come in from word of mouth.
USBI is perfect for the Village of Wellington because it was conceived in Wellington in 2000. USBI is familiar with most of the properties there, already. And they have inspected so many residential, equestrian, and commercial properties in Wellington, that they are familiar with the construction of most homes, including the issues and positive traits. Patti told me, “Many times, we have already inspected properties that come in and I can look up any deficiencies or issues that happened in the past. This way, we have an advantage knowing all facets of a property before even arriving at it.” Then USBI determines if previous issues were resolved or not when they show up at the property to inspect it again.
Patti left me by telling me that she is expecting her fourth grandchild in August, and looks forward to balancing her life between family and business. She loves AroundWellington.com and Krista Martinelli’s work for the incredible resource the magazine is to the community. “The articles and featured columns are both immensely important to me because it enables me to keep up with my fellow business owners, as well as local celebrities,” said Patti. She loves being part of such an amazing family of “Wellingtonites” and is very appreciative of the reciprocated love of all who live and work here!
