I'm not posting today…

I'm on the verge of losing my voice, and I have to finish the paperwork and planning for my class.

Yeah, more about my speech


I am adding a page to my website, giving gory details about my speech. :-) It is at
http://lmstapp.com/speaking/

As part of building this page, I am trying to upload an MP4 of the event. My computer is throwing a temper tantrum about that. It may never speak to me again! Worse yet, it may never LISTEN to me again! Oh no! Not THAT, again!

I've said it once and I will say it again:

SPEECH RECOGNITION DOES NOT WORK LIKE IT DOES ON STAR TREK

(Unless you are talking about episodes like this…)

I gave my speech to TOTA

Here I am, all perky and prepared to speak
Here I am, all perky and prepared to speak

Some of the people I spoke to…














Saturday was the big day. Leslie and Erica took me, and they seemed to have a good time. Erica made some contacts that will help her as she goes towards her own career.

But… This is my blog. I can tell you that I've learned some things during this experience. For starters, although it makes me nervous… I like speaking. The preparation is difficult. I can't tell you how often I changed everything. From beginning to end, through the whole thing down and start again.

I also learned again that somethings feel best in the rearview mirror.
