So - while I was having a meltdown over the fact that my son thinks my turkey is always dry (we are going to try a turkey brine this year), my husband came flying into the room, "Jane, Jane, do you know about the Connect A Million Minds initiative? It's all over the local news! They showed Dean Kamen talking to President Obama!" They were explaining the Time Warner Cable connection. It was a lot of fun listening to my husband be so excited about the STEM opportunities that will made available because of this type of interest and support being generated. This time it wasn't me doing all the talking, it was him.
He could give me some coaching in my elevator pitch, I do believe.
