Chronicles of a Late-Blooming Child Prodigy

I'm an unrelenting aficionado of Chess, Toastmasters and acoustic music (Celtic and Bluegrass--Turquoisegrass?). Audio and Video Blogging gives my visitors a chance to hear and see my triumvirate of interests in action. Cheers! --GT

My recurring illusions of grandeur: (1) winning a state-level chess tournament, (2) winning the World Championship of Public Speaking, and (3) playing Flight of the Bumblebee on the guitar at the Annual Flatpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas. Until then, I'll relish all three pursuits with the enthusiasm and fearlessness of a late-blooming child prodigy. :)

Division A Toastmasters Contest

Yikes! Lightning struck thrice on my shiney noggin--I won again against increasingly tough competition. I'm now the Division representative for the District #4 Humorous Speech Contest on November 18th, the day before my 45th birthday.

Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of rhetoric! Grrrr bark!
