Is it weird that I have a compulsion to check weather.com?
I mean, I live in
According to the 10 day forecast for Nashville, I can definitely pack that coat. You may prefer flip flops. Here’s how it starts:
Friday, March 7: 50F, Partly Cloudy, 20% chance of rain
Saturday, March 9: 56F, Showers, 60% chance of rain
See you soon! I’ll be the one with the scarf.
Hey, just a quick two cents from this working mom busy with preparing for travel--while looking forward to NRB 2008 and the wonderful opportunities it provides to connect with radio and ministry friends (and with co-workers--especially the newbies...Carolyn and Anna!), in addition to preparing for the business-side of the trip, there are lots of things to tend to on the home front before I go! One important dynamic are my children ... if you're like me, you're always looking for ways to stay connected with your kids (whether traveling or not!), with a few years of NRB Events under my belt, I've landed on a concept I call "Trip Treasures" as a way to do just that! Take a minute and take a peek--your kids may end up wishing you had more trips to take! http://www.chicblvd.com/living/career/trip_treasures.html
When you travel and have to remove your shoes--it's that "icky" floor thing! So I always buy an inexpensive package of socks to throw in my tote. Off go the shoes, on go the socks. Once I'm through security, off go the socks into the trash. On the plane, I use another pair that immediately get trashed on arrival. I save the others for the hotel room and the return trip!
I know that for me, in the midst of making final plans and revising my schedule for the 50th time (!), I'm also stopping to breathe and asking the Lord to prepare my heart for the messages I will hear and for the conversations I will have. Past NRB highlights for me always include visits with ministry and station partners--some who have become very close friends thru the years!
Can't wait to visit with old friends and make some new ones during the convention.
How many of these have I attended -- yipes! Actually, it's sort of fun to think back over the years ... from being one of the "next generation" (Jon & me, Tom Moffit #2, Rich Bott, Dick Marsh, et al) to being ... well, let's just say I'm quite "seasoned" now! All I can say is -- we're going to Nashville expecting to create memories that will make this "the best NRB ever" ... see you there!
You don't want to know how many times I've been to NRB. But each time is a new adventure. It runs the gamut from being mistaken for Peg's mother--to singing hymns with Joni in the hospitality lounge! These--and more like them--are NRB "moments" to be anticipated. See ya there!
What am I expecting at NRB 2008? Well, that’s hard to say because I’ve never been to the national convention before. As a newbie to Ambassador, One thing I’m looking forward to is getting to meet a lot of new people. I’m also excited for the chance to travel out to Tennessee—I’ve never been to that part of the country before.
The entire time looks like it’ll be packed with great events, opportunities to form new relationships, and the chance to understand the Christian radio industry more. Seems great! So, besides figuring out what to take along, I think I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. =)
Any suggestions?

Looking forward to seeing everyone at NRB!
In particular, I'm excited about showing our new Amb-OS AMR100 receiver. Great days ahead!
