smell of the crowd

I am an actor.


Well, I have the soul of an actor.  I love performing in front of a group of people -- almost anywhere. 


That is one reason I looked forward to coming back to my former employer -- if only for a brief stay.  I wanted to -- metaphorically -- put on the grease paint and strut the boards.


It didn't quite turn out that way.  I returned as a mentor-trainer for my replacement.  That meant I did not get to do all of the general training and related appearances that made my old job so much fun.


But I have a new outlet for my frustrated thespian gene.  I just finished putting the final touches on my presentation for the Third Annual Latin American Bloggers' Conference -- on a topic most of us should find interesting.  And I am looking forward to doing it.
The conference will mark my return to Mexico -- and my return to road trips.  I will tell you a little more about that in the next few days.


For now, I will simply tune up my vocal chords.  There is some serious acting to be done.
