When it rains it pours.
I had the distinct pleasure of telling at the Isaac Bear Early College High School Senior Lunchon May 22nd. Kids, parents and teachers gathered to celebrate one another. Heard some very impressive speeches from 17 and 18 year olds. My thanks to Suzanne Mecallef and Tilley Gurley for including me in this program. I told a couple of my favorites and introduced a new program aimed at high schoolers. Lifes Instruction Manual is humrously geared to remind kids that we all have faults to overcome, we never really finish learning lessons, there are no problems only challenges and opportunity and that the answers to most of lifes questions are inside of us. I thought it well received. I will continue to expand and tweak this one. Later that night I presented for the 2nd year in a row to the Ashe County 8th Grade end of year Trip to the Sea. Shared the stage with Joyce Grear and Maxwell Page. Always a good time. Today is my birthday. I’m 39, again…
