My speech is about making an omelet. Now, why am I talking about an omelet? I guess it is because there is a certain amount of pride in achieving this culinary victory. I enjoy cooking breakfast on the weekends. The items on the menu comprised of hot dogs, fried eggs, turkey bacon and polish sausage….
Speech 3. Ancient Dreamers
It has been more than a year since I last gave a speech. Speech number 2 seems a distant memory. After many missed meetings and much hesitation, I’ve decided that it is now or never. I am either going to make the most of my membership to the club, or I am going to quit….

Be The Toastmaster
When I first joined toastmasters, it was to overcome a lifelong fear of public speaking. Back then I was satisfied with being able to speak in front of a small gathering. In many ways, that is still the ultimate goal. In the Toastmasters club, each member can choose to fill any number of available roles….

I have set for myself a project I planned to accomplish with two years. The plan was to learn creative writing, learn a new language. And become more than an occasional photographer. To that end, I joined Meetup and attended a few meetings geared towards those goals. I practiced some Spanish every week, started a…
KingseagleArt
KingseagleArt was setup address two issues. The first is what to do with the domain name kingseagle.com. And the second is to have a site that would host a blog for my work or art. Over the past few weeks, I have been canceling some of the domain names that I have not used. And…
