Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: . . . What We Wish We Could Learn How to

by

Join Us Tonight

Everybody Wants to Learn Something!

It’s true. No one can do everything that they would like to. We can’t dream up and build every idea we conceive without learning a thing or two. What would you like to learn to do, to make, to try, to craft, to understand, or to be better at.

That’s what we’ll be talking about tonight. Well, that and whatever else comes up — as usual.

Oh, and bring links to thinks you can teach or want to learn how to fix.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

Let me introduce the bloggers

They take the conversation to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.

I thank all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

Should anyone question this SOB button’s validity, send him or her to me. Thie award carries a “Liz said so” guarantee, is endorsed by Kings of the Hemispheres, Martin and Michael, and is backed by my brothers, Angelo and Pasquale.

The Mic is On: It's About When We Were Kids…

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Let’s start with:

  • The first “kids” we kissed
  • The traditions we had
  • The stories we made up about neighborhood folks
  • The games after dark
  • The things our parents never knew

And, we’ll talk about whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links about when we were kids to share!

Join Us Tonight

We might talk about the first “kids” we kissed, the traditions we had, the stories we made up about neighborhood folks, the games after dark, the things our parents never knew, and whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring example links to share — about when we were kids.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

It’s a Picnic! It’s a B-B-Q!!

Let’s get some friends and enjoy the evening in the backyard.

  • What shall we eat?
  • What shall we drink?
  • What shall we talk about, besides the neighbors?
  • Bring your kids, your pets, and your fireworks too.
