I'm not the quickest fish in the lake, or the brightest bulb in the chandelier but I really do have my moments with social media. Talk about headaches for this person who thinks he's become a computer genius just because he got the darned thing turned on. For years I dressed nicely, sent flowers and cards; and I still couldn't turn it on. Okay, bad joke but it's been a trip.

If it had not been for Lori Givan, Chamber VP for Creative Services, Busy Bees still would not have a presence on Facebook. Now we're there. But I'm still way behind on the others and really, I don't have the time to keep up. Some companies have employees assigned to do nothing but maintain their social media thrust. Just when I think I have a handle on this techno babbling world, they come up with something else which may take me months to figure out.

What do you get when you're in the company of two of the most talented, thought-provoking members of the local media? You're right, scintillating conversation, peppered with a double helping of fun. Many listeners of Charlie Brennan's popular KMOX radio morning show were delighted to hear Charlie's recent interview with Don Corrigan, author of "Show Me . . . Natural Wonders." Charlie selected it as the show's July book-of-the-month selection and suggested this terrific guidebook "should be on everyone's bookshelf." Don, who is editor of the Webster-Kirkwood Times, spoke about the abundant outdoor beauty of our state, including nearby Powder Valley, which is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary.
