I just gave a new talk, “Inaugurations and Installations: Presidents’ First Days on the Job,” as Kentuckiana Mensa’s monthly speaker. It went pretty well. About five percent of the group’s membership showed up for it, which strikes me as a good turn-out for 6pm on a Saturday night. Nobody logged off in the middle, and several had questions and comments after I was finished, so I guess there was some interest.
As I was talking, I noticed a few pieces that can be trimmed, but overall, I’m pleased with it.
So, that’s another topic I can offer to groups looking for speakers. I’m available; ask.
