For the past three years, I've been giving lectures on various business cases to MBA candidates at local schools...Harvard, Tuck, and Boston College. Tonight was Boston College.
The first time I lectured, I was near my heaviest and had five dental implants in progress. You couldn't see the affected area, but I was really self-conscious when presenting. My gift for that one-hour presentation was a nice mug.
Last year, I was at my peak weight, though I did have my smile back. I got a key chain that lights up which I keep in my purse. I use it to read menus in dimly lit restaurants.
This year, I arrived early and spent some time catching up with the professor. He presented me with an umbrella. Then he said: "You look great. Have you lost alot of weight?"
Not that I don't appreciate the mug, the flashlight and the umbrella, but this was the best gift he could have given me.
When I left he said "Same time next year. I can't wait to see how you'll look then".
That makes two of us.
