God bless laptops.Just before I headed home from Chicago....I checked my email and found an offer.
Would I consider chairing the literary festival for our city?
I've been involved with our city's literary festival since it first began 5 years ago. I've had a lot of fun and met dozen and dozens of great authors....from the uber famous like Garrison Keillor to the quiet poets of my state.
I was so flattered I was even asked to consider this....but I didn't know what to do....I'm knee deep in working on my parent's estate...and going crazy.....but I know logically every month more and more things get settled and eventually their house and possessions will be settled too.
So I said yes....and today, my first day of work, sent out schmoozy emails. My job as chair is centered around schmoozing and being a talking head.....which is probably all I could handle right now.
I laughed hard when I thought of updating my facebook page. Since I'm currently unemployed and working in on two community projects......does that make me a "community organizer"?
Oh my gosh....I could be running for President in a few years.....move over Hillary....I'm stretching my wings.
Now you'all plan to come down to my city next spring in 2010....
whoooeeee what a party we're going to have....so much fun and so much smarts all rolled up in one event.
