In Thursday’s blog, I highlighted my favorite things. Getting to the point, these would be: 1.) Toastmasters meetings and other big events like the speech contests. I get to reconnect with other members and meet new people along the way. 2.) Fall, because it brings a change in the weather and lots of color. ThatContinue reading “The NFL Returns!”

My Favorite Things at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting was a success last night, despite the small turnout and one speaker having to postpone until the next meeting. It was nothing our group couldn’t handle. Four of us attended in person with the three usual suspects joining us online via Zoom. I will be ending my speaking streak and goingContinue reading “My Favorite Things at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
Did Summer Fly By?
As I said I would, I made it out to Cutie’s on Sunday for the first day of the new “Cutie Fall” menu. I made it for coffee, even though I missed the morning market that went on from 9 to 1. It was still steady around 3pm but not as crazy as it wasContinue reading “Did Summer Fly By?”
New Beginnings!
It’s always hard to say goodbye, and that includes the change of seasons. We had a summer dominated by heat and humidity, definitely the latter. After a wet spring, we dried up this summer and some places are reporting drought conditions. It’s shaping up to finish as our driest summer in a decade. But, givenContinue reading “New Beginnings!”
Ending August The Way I Began It!
August is ending for me the way it began, as I tried out a new cafe. This time, my travels took me to White Tree Cafe and Coffeehouse in downtown Irwin. It was a cool day like the first day of August. While on my way, I also had my autumn jazz playlist on justContinue reading “Ending August The Way I Began It!”
Summertime Simmer at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
Tuesday night we returned to our normally scheduled in person Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. Last time, we couldn’t get our normal meet spot due to the room being unavailable. No worries though as the meeting was a success. We heard about the International Convention from our Program Quality Director. Sharon was our backup speaker andContinue reading “Summertime Simmer at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Climbing the Mountain: Invocation or Speech?
I’m working on this blog as I’ve already attended my meeting for the week. At the time though, I wasn’t sure whether or not to make this my speech or invocation. August 26 is a special day for me. On this day 25 years ago, my family and I were on our way to Johnstown.Continue reading “Climbing the Mountain: Invocation or Speech?”
Is It Fall Yet?: Invocation or Speech?
I’ve been flip-flopping on what to do about Tuesday night at Laurel Highlands. Am I still going to speak? Yes, and I also signed up to give the invocation as well. I have two great ideas for what I want to talk about and either of them will be great as an invocation or preparedContinue reading “Is It Fall Yet?: Invocation or Speech?”
“Happy SRU Weekend!”
Twenty two years and half my life ago. That’s how long it’s been since I continued my academic journey at Slippery Rock University. The Slippery Rock season gets lost in the shuffle sometimes because my Hiram G. Andrews Center season carries a lot more weight. I had just graduated from the community college in MayContinue reading ““Happy SRU Weekend!””
Wearing Many Hats at Greensburg Toastmasters!
We had our biweekly Greensburg Toastmasters meeting on Wednesday night. Our President was representing our club and the District in Philadelphia at the International Convention. Our trio was in attendance as well, and I’m sure they’ll all have a lot to share at their home clubs this week. If so, Mike will share his experiencesContinue reading “Wearing Many Hats at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
