Keep your eyes on the Wet Munch.

I have been taking it easy lately, well as easy as I let myself. It is the wonderful winter time and my lungs, as usual, need a little TLC. So I am relaxing and letting life wash over me like a big fluffy comforter. My hands are shaky, a side effect from the meds. It doesn’t bother me, never has. It is temporary and a reminder that I am doing self care.

Last Sunday was the Wet Munch. I have been LOVING my part in  producing the Wet Munches educational section. The organizers of the Wet Munch  are tons of fun  to  work  with. I also love having a venue that isn’t to intimidating for those that are wanting to  wet their “public speaker”  feet.  Last week was Sir B talking about “littles.” I learned so much and quite honestly I wish that he could have talked twice as long.  I have more questions that I would like answered. 

But I keep the educational part down to 15 minutes for speaking and 5 for questions for a couple of reasons. One is, it is a social venue and I don’t want to tie up time or space on a 30-45 min talk. The other is that I need a lot of speakers, 2 a month, that’s 24 a year. And since I can’t possible vet  them  all  and get it  done  in  a timely manner without seriously limiting my speaker pool, I limit their time. So I figure 15 minutes. It is way too little for a powerful speaker, and way too long for a less skilled one. Plus Albuquerque has so much to offer that I want everyone to have the chance to come and cut their teeth, or talk about that thing that excites them.

It has been really interesting to see who attends and who doesn’t. So far the front room has been full   when the speaker takes the stage. I have been happy with that.  

The organizers of the Wet Munch post the next speaker and topic blurb on the Monday or Tuesday two weeks before hand. So it is going really well, and as the format becomes more consistent, it is evening out, as these things tend to do. 

I am also in the final edits of my second book. This one is a little tougher then the first, more emotional, much more difficult. But I am hoping for publication by Jan 15th at the latest.  

So that is what is going on in casa de Oso.

Keep your eyes on the Wet Munch.
