Shop talk

I spent an hour this afternoon at the mall doing a walk-and-talk TV interview with Good Morning America, which will air Sunday. (This was a bit of a surprise--I thought I was going to tape something for our local ABC station.) After the taping was over, the producer and camera guy mentioned that it was a solid interview that covered everything they needed.

"Wow," she said. "You're a great talker." (Not sure how to read that, but I took it as a compliment.)

"Thank you," I said. "My parents have known that for 30 years."
