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?
I hope you enjoyed the bread samples. If you can't get the starter through customs shoot me an email with your address and I'll mail you another batch!
They took it away from me… I would love for you to send to me… I would like to blog about it… My email is [email protected]…
