23 balmy degrees, no snow or ice. I heard at the speech tournament Tom’s doing that the schools from Asheville couldn’t get here because of snow.
Tom’s efforts are going well, I think, comparable with some of the other competitors I’ve seen. I had to keep taking Frank out to the halls because he wanted to yell, “Bub, bub, Bubba!” while people were reading. Once I had to let him bite my finger with his two pointy teeth to keep him quite for a few minutes ;-).
Tom has three more rounds tomorrow, and eventually we’ll find out if he’ll be in semifinals. Since I don’t know how many people that includes, I don’t know what the chances are.
Good for Tom.
And Frank doing the mock Bubba thing? Priceless.
Good luck Tom!
Speech tournament? Aiiiieeee....
Never heard of such a thing (though I know of Toastmasters).
Methinks maybe it's time to consider retirement if we're raising a crop of young bucks like that! It wasn't very many years ago that I reached the point where I could get up in front of a group of strangers -- to talk about material they want to hear and which I know pretty well.
