Checking In

I’ve been sick. Not THE sick, but sick.

When I first started coughing, I went to a “quickie mart” in the mall across from the hotel and bought chips, chocolate, water, cough drops, and a thermometer. The man at the register asked, “Are you panic buying?” I didn’t quite understand him at first, so I replied with a little nervous laugh.

The Rose Performing Arts for Children and Families in Omaha Presents Shrek The Musical.

SHrek the Musical at The Rose

Shrek is a crowd favorite in the Sikora home. In fact, it was just featured prominently in the session Marcus and I just gave this weekend, “Storytelling as Advocacy.” We shared the key components to a good story in addition to how (and why) you can use these stories in advocacy efforts.

I won’t bore you with those details today, I promise to bore you with that later. Well, maybe not promise, so much.

ANYway,

I’ve discovered in passing conversation that a few people I know actually do read this blog. So in deference to those checking in, here are a few brief notes from the day.
