    It was 28 C today (that is a bit over 82 F). I consider that hot.

    Me too - I consider that hot - we were at 29 and 30 C for a couple of days

    (Echoing Hedda's sentiments - are you feeling a bit better today I hope?)

    Not sure if you had a Stoker Con thread bev, hard to maneuver on my phone.

    Will this virtual Con be available to us to watch readings and panels?  If so, will you be doing any of those things?  Is there a schedule of the events out yet? When is it? Soon isn’t it?

    I thought about you today - I was registering for an upcoming course in August called "Urban Poling" and the woman on the phone pronounced it like your name, only with a Y

    "Yurben Poling" - I had to laugh

    I hope at least nine people sign up, otherwise it will get cancelled

    (another name for it is Nordic walking)

    I want to recommend an author so I'm going to post this in a couple of places.  And yes, this will be one of my rambling bullshit things, but I hope you'll stick with me.

    Kobi Yamada writes children's books.  They are the most amazing things ever.  Their messages speak more to adults really, I think.  But you catch a kid early and you can instill in them these wonderful ideas.

    Both my sons graduated from 4 year college.  My oldest moved to another state with a job and was doing well.  But, as a mom, I saw more potential in him.  I knew he wasn't living to his abilities.  He's wicked smart and quick witted, funny.  Anyway, I ran into a Kobi Yamada book titled:  What Do You Do With A Chance?   I read this and immediately purchased it to send to my son.  It's a children's picture book. But the message is huge.  Not delivered in a childish way, not talking down to children, but lifting them up with big ideas.

    So, I write him a personal message in the front of this book and my last line to him was:
    "Sometimes you just have to take a chance, baby boy."

    He called me and started crying.  He said it was a message he needed to hear and it came to him at the perfect moment.  And guess what?  He took a chance.  And that chance?  Graduating with his Master's Degree in teaching. He just did it.  I'm so proud.

    In one of his classes,  he had to write some big paper (he has not shared it with me) but he credited me for sending him this children's book and Kobi for the message it contains.    

    The head professor of the Masters Program called him and let him know how moved she was by his paper and that she personally knew Kobi and his wife and asked if she could share his paper with Kobi.  Of course he said, "Hell yeah!"  

    So you know what?  You never know what small thing you do at just the right time that is going to make a huge difference to someone's life.  I just purchased his new children's book "Trying" today.  I started crying in B & N just reading it.  And then I read it again sitting in my car in the parking lot and continued to blubber.  

    Yes.  I'm a strange duck.  But I like the duck I am.

    If you have anyone in your life who needs a message delivered in a simple, elegant, charming loving way, check out his books.  Buy one for this person and give them the gift of empowerment. 

    Thank you for your time.  This has been a public service announcement from your local PBS channel and from viewers like you.
