I was up early this morning (along with Alan and Chase) to head over to do a 7:30am radio interview on WBMQ. I had a great time with Susan on the air and we pulled off three or four segments. After wrapping up that interview, Joel was able to get me into another station to do an recorded interview that will air throughout the day on the local news.
After radio, we drove through downtown Bloomington to stop at one of the local coffee joints. This cafe was charming and quaint – and the coffee was delicious (as were the blackberry scones). Next stop, Bloomington Junior High School where we worked with groups of 7th and 8th graders with the Hocus Focus project. I so love working with these kids! It is inspiring to see them come to life with a magic trick, stand up in front of their peers and perform, and relish the applause.
By the time we wrapped up at the Junior High, we were all ready for some lunch. By this time, we were existing on caffeine! Lunch at one of the local grilles was awesome (I had the BTL). Our afternoon was spent at the Bromenn Adult Day Care Services with an amazing group of senior citizens. Through the Healing of Magic program, they were able to learn a few tricks and meet their occupational and physical therapy objectives all at the same time.
We made it back to the hotel just in time to do a quick interview with one of the Paducah-area newspapers for our show next weekend. I love being busy!
