I was honored to be asked to be the keynote speaker at this organization’s annual convention.  I have attended this convention over the years as an exhibitor and as a member.  My busy schedule and the dates for this convention have not worked together for several years.  Thus, there are a number of people I haven’t seen in those years.  When I was asked to do a presentation on social media I was delighted.  Wow, how fun would this be.

• I would get to talk about a subject I really enjoy sharing.
• I would get to see a whole bunch of friends I haven’t seen in a long time.
• The convention was being held in Arlington (a short 20min drive from my house – no airplane ride).
• They were feeding me lunch.

There are no minuses here in my mind.  Well as time went on, some of this changed.
