So what are you doing Thursday? Or Friday, too, for that matter?

I’ll be making the drive down to Cary, N.C., for an appearance at the North Carolina Press Association’s Winter Institute. You’ll find us at the Embassy Suites hotel in Cary, N.C.

The Embassy Suites is conveniently located
near the largest afternoon parking lot in
North Carolina: I-40 East.

I’m just one of several speakers who’ll be appearing Thursday and Friday:

* Thad Ogburn, features editor of The News & Observer, Raleigh, N.C.

* Jerry Bellune, former president of the Society for News Design, Lexington S.C.

* Kenneth Boone, chairman of Tallapoosa Publishers in Alexander City, Ala.

* Tim O’Briant, News director of The Aiken Standard, Aiken, S.C.

My own presentation will be Thursday morning from 9 a.m. until noon. I’m speaking on The Art of Being Brilliant, a topic I presented twice last fall in Atlanta and again in December in Austin.

If you’re interested, I’ll bet you can still make plans to attend.  Find more information at the NCPA web page.

As soon as I’m done, I’m hopping over to downtown Raleigh, where I’m speaking at Staff Development Day at my former paper, The News & Observer. It’s always a pleasure to spend time in Raleigh. We spent three really great years there in the mid 1990s.

I hope I’ll see you there.
