My day started as usual. I got up at 6 am, showered, put on my suit and went into the kitchen to make lunch for my son. In between that, I tried getting my son to wake up, but nothing worked. So, I took his blanket off and got him to sit up. He finally woke up.
After he got dressed, I drove him to school and headed to my Westbury office to check in and take care of pending stuff before leaving. At 11 am, I headed out to the Islip Airport to get on a Southwest Airline to Louisville, KY.
At around 5:30 pm, I landed in Louisville and made my way to baggage, where I saw my friend, Biggs Tabler. (I met Biggs about 10 years ago through the Long Island Capital Alliance. At that time, I was organizing the capital forums and Biggs was in attendance. We hit it off and remained friends through the years.) Biggs greeted me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
When we got into his car, he drove me to the Louisville Art Center where the Social Media Club of Louisville was meeting. I was greeted by some of my Facebook and Twitter friends, which was really nice.
I presented a few case studies but my goal was to get the audience talking to me and to each other, which I accomplished. It was a lot of fun talking about my favorite topic, social media! Every time I speak in public, I feel like I learn so much from the audience. It’s a wonderful sharing experience!
When it was over, I got to meet the most amazing people. But not only that, one of the audience members presented me with a bag of wet yeast. He said if I go on his web site, I can get the recipe for this Amish bread. He also gave me samples of the bread. Wow, I thought, that was a first! All I kept thinking was, how am I going to get this through security at the airport?
