So a got an email a few weeks back asking if I'd be interested in giving an informative speech at Midwest Ear's annual "Sounds and Sauvignon" fund raiser. I just state right here that I'm not that great of a public speaker. I don't have a problem speaking...I'm just not looking to get into politics. At any rate, I replied that I'd be delighted to attend and speak. Having never been I had to inquire about attire and location. And finally about speech content.
The wife and I arrived at the Carriage Club last Thursday and I knew I was in trouble when we almost hit a Bentley that was trying to leave. We went in, had a few wine samples, said a few hello's, and I gave my speech. I'm one of those people who can spend two hours getting a few words together but when it comes time to say them I end up just ad libing. Which is what I ended up doing there. And it worked out okay. I did meet a few people with questions about the implants, so I count it as a night well spent.
