I've joined Toast Masters, an international club that helps people have more confidence about speaking in public and running meetings. I'm happy to report that I won the "Tall Tales" speech competition. This tall tale was inspired by Jackson and Alden and their disgust with my bad habit of not turning off the water when I brushed my teeth. After I blogged about it, some of you sent a note saying that their story had reminded you to either shut off the water when you brushed, or of yourself when you were a kid and were encouraging your parents to 'do the right' thing. Anyhoo. That experience grew into this tall tale. Thanks for the muse.
