Happy Birthday, Toastmasters!

There are two things about me that make this post seem very out-of-character:
1) I hate dressing up.  With a passion.
2) I never joined a single club in high school.  Hated them.

That being said, this post is about a club I joined for which I must dress up every meeting.

But Toastmasters helped me check an item off my List-Of-Things-To-Do-Before-I-Die List:
"Give a speech."

Anyway, it was nice to be back for the first meeting of the year:
friends
laughs
speeches
and a birthday cookie cake

Reckless Tip of the Day: speak in front of a group of people about something you're passionate about.
