While he and his family lived at Whitethorne, my high school boyfriend showed me how to milk a cow. I have seen cream rise to the top.
So much richness fills my life, I wait for sweet cream to rise to choose about what to write.
What rises to the top on a Monday morning after having attended Tech Nite 9.0 on a Thursday night is the memory of hearing a statement I have so wished and waited to hear:
"I read your blog."
I heard it three times in quick succession. While the nominees could be anyone with Internet access, with gratitude, I announce the Inside VT KnowledgeWorks Awards for Connectivity (and for making a dream come true):
First Person:
Mark Coburn, Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties
Second Person:
Kevin Creehan, Schultz-Creehan, Inc.
Third Person:
Daryl Scott, Attaain, Inc.
What "I read your blog" means to me from these people-now-dear-to-my-heart is that the blog's purpose--to help make cool things happen for VT KnowledgeWorks companies and the local high-tech economy--may be beginning to happen.
Ah, I remember these conversations well:
"What do you do?"
"I write the blog for VT KnowledgeWorks."
"You do what?"
"What do you do?"
"I write the blog for VT KnowledgeWorks."
"Oh, yeah, I keep meaning to read that."
Next dream:
Someone peers at my name tag.
"Hey, don't you write the blog for VT KnowledgeWorks?"
Now that would be sweet.
