This morning I had an interview on Channel 7 News in Chicago. It was a lot of fun and Stacey did  great job of interviewing me. My book received a nice plug, but I am so thankful for so much time spent on Shine The Light. Here is the link:  http://abclocal.go.com/wls/video#global

I'm also looking forward to the interview in Atlanta-also a big media market and Wendel, the producer and I chatted for 10 minutes on the phone the other day. It was a fun conversation. If I lived there we'd be friends. He's already posted something on the web site and is trying to gather some extra PR for Shine The Light. Really sweet of him.

After that interview next Monday, I head down to St. Augustine and will be there a few days before the RV is ready-I'll be there on Tuesday or perhaps even that Monday night and hopefully pick up the RV Thursday or Friday. From there it's Kansas, then Boulder. It's hard to set up kids interviews in Kansas as I can't say when I'll be there! I'm sure it will all work out. I have Colorado all set, need help in Nebraska and South Dakota and I'm good after that. Erin will do a big media push after I reach Seattle.

Meanwhile Bill Telepan and I are working on our book and I think I found an editor for the videos. Hopefully I'll know pretty soon.

I am still working on business partners and my web master is creating a 'Partners' page as we speak. I'll let you know when it's complete. Needless to say I have plenty to work on today and tomorrow and then Tuesday it's the kids interviews. I have also started another painting of a vase and wine bottle. It's coming along....

I have been chatting with a woman in Toronto about doing some classes there. I developed a program years ago called 'Learn to Cook in a Week,' that I have taught and I am wiling to travel to teach. I have others who have inquired, but this woman has created a little idea spark. I have a great videographer and I could do some on-line classes as well. Some for kids, some for adults, although as you know they are rarely different. If I go to Nova Scotia in January, I could stop on the way. We'll see....I write like I talk....blah, blah, blah....

Anyway, today is a gorgeous day. It's hot with bright blue skies. Perfect. Way too much energy...about to head out for another walk/run. Too hot for my pups, I'll take them later tonight.
