What a busy weekend. I had the pleasure of attending a ribbon cutting for a Huntington Learning Center yesterday. What excitement! They had a Color Guard from the Churchland High School ROTC, a guest singer for the Star Spangled Banner and Alan P. Krasnoff, city mayor, assist with the ribbon cutting. I had a nice chat with him. What a super guy. He said he has five or six events to attend on any given day. Boy, does he get around.
The next thing on my agenda was a party celebrating a 30th anniversary for the Virginia Martial Arts Center and the 50th birthday party of Shihan Darren Myers. Lots of great food, fun and dancing for everyone. The wise words shared there included the following: Never give up. Seven times down, eight times up. Focus, know your self worth, have respect and responsibility. Develop self-confidence and train your mind, body and spirit.

The Latest Happenings
Water, water everywhere, what's a writer to think? Here's what this writer thought. Put keyboard into gear and get busy. I wrote an article (hopefully for Hampton Roads Monthly) about a local impersonator. He rocks. His name is Tim Beasley and you'll be seeing an article about him by me in the near future. I'm also working on a power point presentation for the From Inspiration to Publication Workshop II I plan to do in February with Nathan Richardson at the Russell Memorial Library. Gearing up for the Writer's Seminar tomorrow at Russell Library where Joanna Bourne (best selling historical author) and Laurie Sanders (editor of romance novels) will be giving workshops. Tonight it's dinner with the CRW crowd at Buffet City. Yum! Here's to Nancy Naigle at Crime Bake in Boston! May she have a fantastic conference there as well!
