Prepping for the Tri-State Conference

I think I'm done with my presentation, I've gotten my hotel reservation confirmed and my travel plans are set. I'm excited to be speaking at the Tri-State Consortium of Opportunity Programs in Higher Education 25th Anniversary Conference.

While this is not the first time I've ever made a presentation about social media, it is my first workshop. So I'm excited for the give and take with the crowd and hoping that I can learn a few new things along with the information I'll be sharing.

I will be sharing key pieces of the presentation on the blog after the meeting. If you're interested, watch for those updates.

March comes in like a lion

So, who decided that the phrase "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" makes any sense?  Lions in savannas which are usually warm. 

Tonight freezing rain is expected. I can't decide if I'm happy about that or not. For it to rain, we have to be up over 32 degrees. It's been over a month since the last time it was that warm around here. Seriously.  But at least this should end soon. It's almost St. Patrick's Day and that is usually when the snow stops for the season. Usually.

When the internet breaks

Over the past six weeks my home phone has been ringing a lot at weird hours.  It appears that some bot scraped my business name, merged it with something else and promptly posted my home phone as a towing company.  With all of the snow and ice issues, there have been many calls for towing.  I'm getting tired.

So far in searching I have been unable to locate which group started this problem for me. I'm not a car enthusiast so that's not any kind of a connection.  I'm really at a loss and getting frustrated trying to search this info out. Anyone have a suggestion for a fix that doesn't involve me dumping my home phone number?
