I'm on the board of directors of a local financial institution. I like to have varied interests and I'm lucky that i've always been able to fit them into my schedule. I hope that continues. The financial is in the middle of a fair amount of change and I'd like to do my part to finish the overhaul that we started. It's very interesting not only because of the economic climate we're in but also because of the changing government regulations. I think we'll see a lot more consolidation of the financials with assets of less than $1 billion; and a further consolidation of the various financial regulators into one super-regulator.
I just came home from a local high school football game. I saw a variety of local political candidates there. They all act the same way--standing in the rain waiting to be recognized or given credit for being there. I can't claim to be the most outgoing person in the world, but I've always had an ability to "turn it on" in the right place. For heaven's sake...work the crowd. Shake a couple of hands. Go to the press booth and ask to make an announcment for the school at half-time. Don't just stand there.
