The blog has nothing to do with the "Here and Now" talk show hosted by Robin Young of WBUR.

By saying Here and Now I intend to write about the activities that I'm involved in.

1. ToastMasters International

I'm now a member of the White Oak ToastMasters. I'm hoping to improve my public speaking skills by being a part of this club. To learn more about the ToastMasters, click on the link above.

2. Silver Spring Writers Group
This group is organized by a good lady names Jane. Again, wanted to improve my writing skills. My first task is to write a short story which will be critiqued by the other members of the group in the June meeting.

3. Reading Books
A Thousand Splendid Suns, Kite Runner, Marley & Me, Watership Down, Out Stealing Horses, Into the Wild, A Woman in Jerusalem, Memory Keepers Daughter - all these are some of the books that I have read recently.
