Lowdown on the Showdown June 3, 2008

AND NOW FOR THE LOWDOWN ON LAST NIGHT’S SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT:

 

I wondered if they would like it.

 

I sweat like I was filming a Gatorade commercial. 

I coughed like I was filming an asthma medication commercial.

My talk could have been longer.

My veal couldn’t have been better.

A nervous young scholarship recipient quietly told me that I had truly inspired her.

A kind older woman told me not to worry about my weight….that it would come off when I was ready.  (thanks?)

I got flowers.

I got compliments.

I got happy.

 

I knew I was where I was supposed to be.
