Are you ready to say goodbye to 2022 🙋♀️? I am! I'm also excited to attend the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week! 🥳 The last time I was there IRL was in 2020, right before Covid 😷. There were "virtual CES" events in 2021-2022, but as Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell sang, 🎤 "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing, Baby.🎶" A hundred companies & PR agencies have flooded my inbox with press releases 📧. I chose exhibitors, products & demos to investigate 🕵️♀️, including @getpivo, a fantastic content creation tool📱, & @inuru_official, designed to reduce packaging waste & prints light✨, plus a dozen others. There are 11 official venues & 2K+ exhibitors covering 2M sq feet (185,800 sq. meters) of exhibit space 🗺️. Seeing everything is impossible, so I created a list to help me spend my time efficiently 📋. I'll write a more extended post on one of my blogs ✍️ & maybe upload clips on my nearly moribund YouTube channel 🎞️. I'll be at CES alone (with 100,000 fellow tech enthusiasts) on my 70th BD🎈. I started social media when I was in my mid-50s & was already among the older people at the time📱. This is all to say, you can be any age and have fun! Social media has always been a great equalizer ⚖️. You have access to everyone from public figures 🌟 to everyday folks & sometimes surprising relationships form. I sure feel that way about many of you 🥰. I first met @morganfairchild on Twitter (@morgfair) years ago 🐦. A mutual friend brought us together, then we reconnected on IG 🤳. She is super nice & even gave me a praise quote for my book 📖. (Thanks, Morgan!) Thanks to all of you who have let me into your lives & participate here 🙏. Your comments give life to the conversation 💬. I'm very grateful 🤗. Who 😇 or what 💝has made you feel grateful in 2022? Wishing you a safe & happy 2023! 🥂🍾 . . .
