Tonight I went to a meeting for the Ten Mile River Watershed Council. Check out the website. See it, well, I am going to be taking care of getting this great group a better face for the web.

I’ve done a few great paddles with TMRWC and they have been awesome. Keith, the head of the TMRWC, is so full of information and knowledge of the history of the Ten Mile River and surrounding cities and towns. I want to help him share that knowledge and passion for paddling and history on the TMRWC website.

I was AV boy at the meeting tonight. Keith had slides to present and I ran the slideshow. I also recorded his speech and I’ll see about matching it up with his slides because the light was terrible.

Speaking of light, the sun and sky was amazing. The Church where we had the meeting was next to a cemetery and it looked really awesome through the windows. Those pictures didn’t come out that good but I ran outside a little too late to get to the cemetery. I did see how the light looked through the trees and loved it. So I tried to frame it up between a straight edge on the left and the branches on the right. So, what do you think?

Fame and Fortune are Coming Your Way

Fame and Fortune are Coming Your Way

Seems pretty straightforward. I just have to sit and wait for fame and fortune to happen, excuse me for bringing back a phrase from Wayne’s World, NOT! No one sits on their ass and is handed a fortune unless a rich relative kicks off and believe me that isn’t gonna happen to this non famous blogger. The name Mohegan is the favorite “Sun” in these parts.

Plan of Action

You want fame and fortune you have to work for it and you have to work hard. If you are part of the make money crowd then you figure that within a year you’ll be at John Chow status, not likely. Maybe if you wear T-shirts each week and shave your head you’d be as famous as shoemoney, wrong again. These guys had to work to get where they are. They’ve worked so hard to attain their notorious noteworthy statuses that whatever they do now looks like they aren’t working at all.

Learn as Much as You Can

I see so many people start off talking the talk but they cannot walk the walk. They do not take the time to learn from those who have gone before. Sure they have downloaded and read every e-book that is out there but they haven’t actually learned anything. Learning comes from experience, the trying and failing and getting back up to try again. Because the road is long and paved with failures many people will give up. Only those who continue to learn, adapt and evolve will be fortunate enough to attain that which they are seeking.

What Makes You an Expert?

I’m no expert, I’m not even a Famous Blogger. I just have the ability to look at things realistically and see the trends I’ve been seeing for the past 5 years and those who don’t learn, adapt and evolve constantly tend to stagnate and quit. So, that was today’s FortunateBluFrog Message. What do you think gets people to that point where they attain fame and fortune?
