Iwas recentlyasked toparticipate inan “Untalent Show”. Because I think I qualify, I agreed todo it. It doesn’t really involvemuch; untalent is easier than talent be- cause it doesnot requiremuchpractice. Another good thing is that untalent ishard tomessupandeven if youdo, nobody shouldnotice. Wewill haveagood timeand hopefully sowill theaudience. Their job isharderbecause theyhave to figureout when to laughor cryandwhenyour act isover.

I think thatmight beanother untalent, theability towrite things that people can readandenjoywithout them reallyhaving to think muchabout it. Therearepeoplewhowrite for a livingwho sharemyuntalent, but someof theirwrit- ing requires toomuch thinking forme. Imean, after all, I amnowa senior citizenand Ihave to reservemy thinkingability. Weall need to rememberbreakfast andournames. Ihavebecome increasinglyhappy tohaveadriver’s licensewith mypicture, so that in timeof doubt I can lookon there to seewho I am. Iwant to thankyou inadvance for allowingme towritea little silly this time. We live inan increas- inglyhurriedand sometimeshostileworld. Wearebombardedwithmore information thanwe could everneedor for thatmatterprocess. Insteadof twoor three television stations that signoff at 2am, wehavehundreds that stayon twenty fourhoursperday. Technologyhasput thewholeworld inour hands at the touchof abutton. Our lives arehurriedandmaybeharried, but the sun still shines and littlebabies are still cutewhen they smile. Keepyour chinup, and if youhavemore thanonekeep themall up. Iwouldbe remiss if Ididnot remindyouof theeducational andnetworkingopportunitiesofferedby FloridaChapter of IAAO. I can saywithout hesitation that our chapter isoneof thebest inall of IAAO. You can findoutwhat ishappening in thisnewsletter andat http://www.fciaao.org .
