Welcome Viewpoint Computer Club! They are sitting out there watching me give a presentation on blogs as part of the AZACC presentation tour. They are located in Mesa. (By the way, the presentation is being done over Skype. Cool, huh?)

One of the things I am demoing to each group is how easy it is to post a new blog post. All I have done is create a post in OneNote and copy the text over to my blog post screen.

One of the unique things about Viewpoint is that my Aunt (OK bruce’s aunt) lives there. We don’t get there often enough, but we think about her all the tim.

When the presentation is all done, I am hoping that one or more of them will comment and let us know what they thought of the presentation.

There were 58 people in the audience for this session. If you have a blog you want to share with them, feel free to comment below!

@mindlessfluff - a true lottery win!

Queen Geek asked me yesterday (via the comments) to research how we can both hit the lottery. I wish I knew how to pick the winning numbers, but I am just not lucky in that way.

I am not lucky in many ways. I don’t win prizes from contests. I don’t win many door prizes. I’m not the best, or the prettiest, or the most talented. Some would say, I got a rough hand in life.

I try instead to focus on the areas where I was lucky. I got into the college I wanted to – and it changed my life. I met and married my first true love. 25 plus years later, we may drive each other crazy… but we are still together and still love each other.

I am lucky enough to know what my talents and skills are. I can find you what you need. I am naturally enthusiastic and passionate. I can explain things in ways that almost anyone can understand. I take some awesome photos – they may not always make it out of the camera right away, but I took them and know they show what I wanted them to show.

I am lucky in friend picking. I am still friends with my best friends from college. I have a network of friends around the US and around the world. (Chances are, if you are reading this, you are in that group.) I have re-united with friends from high school thanks to my social media passions.

I am lucky in my choice of mentors – Ms. Betsy Weber, for example.

I may not be the healthiest person in the world, but I am healthy enough. After all, I am still here!

And finally, I am lucky enough to know just how lucky I am. And in today’s world, that’s saying something!
