Is it the guy I see in the mirror when I can stand to look there? : ) Just wondering. Uh, do I by chance know this person who is a “good bit” older than you?

I'm always the one in the crowd who raises my hand and makes a comment. I've never had that problem in my life, so I guess I've never related to it. This week I went to an advanced speakers class and we had to make an impromtu one minute speech. The audience loved mine - except for the fact that EVERYONE said the volume was so low they could not hear it well. Forty people, right in my face! I had no clue - thought I was projecting just fine. Okay, I thought, I get it - I'll never make fun of soft spoken speakers again!
