Neil! Neil! Where's your hat?!?!?

I'm sure you've all seen this by now....but it still makes me chuckle.

Why I love Twitter....

I had drafted this post MONTHS ago and never hit publish!





I love Twitter! Someone I was following was tossing out random numbers in response to someone called drilone. Well, following back their conversation, he was looking to give away a sketch.

(As Michael Scott said on "The Office", "SWAG! ‘Stuff we all get’. I basically decorated my condo for free with all of my SWAG!")

Needless to say I jumped in and guessed correctly and lo and behold this....





...showed up in my mailbox a few days later! So...bottom line...follow drilone on Twitter and check out his blog!

"I make the weather!"

So we had a special guest at lunch today. Local celebrity and WPTZ NewsChannel 5 Weather Plus Meteorologist Tom Messner (AMS and NWA Seals of Approval) was at school to speak to a few classrooms. He stopped in early for some pizza and some conversation.

Anyone locally knows that Mr. Messner has a very sunny disposition on television. It is even more evident in person. He put up with a few lame jokes about being responsible for the weather but then jumped right into a rather raucous lunch time conversation.

As we all departed to gather our students from the lunch room, I asked if Mr. Messner would mind posing for a quick picture with me. I also asked if he minded if I posted it here. This led to Mr. Messner asking about our use of Twitter and Facebook. Being a Twitter fan, I jumped on the conversation and had a good 10 to 15 minute chat.

So, go ahead and follow him on Twitter here and maybe check out his wife's body of work here.

What I Am Reading...Now!

Thanks for the suggestion Lee!

(Why not click the link and follow him on Twitter? or better yet click HERE and buy his condo!)

PS Nan wondered if you like this authour because his name reminds you of what you were called when you live in New Awlins?
