Suzi Boyett and I hit the road for SDE's first-ever "Road Show" tour. We will be presenting all day workshops in 3 different NY cities on 3 successive days!! We flew the last leg outta Phillie together and started laughing on that flight -- and haven't stopped yet. We are already having a hoot in our exploration of NY. We know what's meant by Fishkill (old Dutch word: kill = stream, ergo Fish Stream.....) and all sorts of other trivia. That's ZB Dennie, wearing his fancy tie and having so much fun. Notice my original 'happy pants'.... I wear them now, only for special occaisions anymore, as they are finally getting quite thin after at least a decade of fun together! They were my 'original' find of wardrobe-exhuberance, which launched my whole subsequent "look." **My happy pants were rescued from a thrift store -- back when Noelle & I were 'thrifting' as our fav junior-high, mom & daughter rainy day excursion. She got her original railroad pinstripe overalls on the same trip. I still remember how excited we each were from our treasures. Now, let the show begin.
Day 3 of the "Road Show" takes us thru the early, October NY snow squalls arriving safely in Waterlou, outside of Syracuse. Here are the wide awake participants, first thing in the morning's keynote, who have braved the weather. I'm responsible for keeping them moving. It was truly an energizing day. My voice made it to the last drop, so I had lots to celebrate. BTW: Suzi and I sat in the Syracuse airport together and added her website's link in the column here labeled -- 'Friends with Talent.' Go see for yourself. I just know you're gonna appreciate her ideas. We were still laughing all of the way to our gates in D.C. Remembering such things as our GPS named Jane who took us on a wild goose chase: "Recalculating." We laughed so hard our body parts ached over that one. Or how about our late-night shopping trip to L.L. Bean's? And discovering their hats didn't match their gloves? Then there was the time that the automated doors closed on me..... (I was kept from being crushed because I was surrounded by luggage and Suzi came to my rescue.) What a treasure, a new friend. Thanks SDE.
