I'm Almost Famous!

Tomorrow, I'm presenting at a school in Cincinnati, and then, in the afternoon, I'm being filmed for a movie on drinking and driving for the part of it that's a documentary.  It's called CONSEQUENCES, and it's being filmed by a filmmaker that has made a few movies already, and it's going to be distributed nationwide, so hopefully it makes a difference to a lot of kid sand adults, and it wouldn't hurt if it spreads my name across the country and gives me the opportunity to travel some to present.

Then, on Thursday, I was asked to issue a statement for a press conference on a bill that is trying to be made into a law that would require D.U.I. offenders to blow into a machine in order to start their cars and then again periodically as they're driving.  I think it's awesome that they asked me to do this because this would be a big law and to be part of gaining support for it would be a different way to be successful in getting my message out.  Also, perhaps schools from down around Frankfort will see the press conference and be interested in having me come to present, so it would be killing a few birds with one stone.

I'm also starting a book soon, so we'll see how that ends up.

Anyways, all of that was just to point out that I'm almost famous!!  (wink wink, nudge nudge)  Joking, obviously, but I'm just glad that I'm involved in things that are important.

Staying Busy

Both of my brothers wives had baby girls, 24 minutes in two different states- one in Kentucky and one in North Carolina.  It feels like I'm part of both of them, which blows me away, not to mention that I'll be helping lead them through life.

I had three presentations scheduled this week, not to mention that I'm judging a chili cook-off Friday for the RHC, so it's a busy week, and I have presentations coming up in the weeks after this one, which, as busy as I am, I hope that I only get more busy and my calendar keeps filling up.

The RHC deal is because the RHC runs the Hope & Possibility 5k Run/Walk, which I walked last spring and I'm planning on walking again this year, but, this year, they asked me to be on the planning committee, so I've been busy being in charge of different parts of that.

It's been crazy, but I'm glad that I have a lot going on with my life because it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing more.
