Concerning my name...

There seems to be some slight confusion among some of my fans on how to say my name. Apparently, a recent Secretary of State had a first name spelled the same as mine, but it was pronounced differently. Mr. Powell pronounced his first name in a manner that likened it to part of the human digestive system. That is not how I pronounce my name. My name rhymes with pollen, which is the stuff that gives my mom a lot of troubles with her allergies.

So in pronouncing my name, always remember: spring and flowers blooming, not the last part of the lower intestine. Thanks.
