Speech deadline

For a whole slew of reasons, I am going to make speeches optional on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you're ready, you can go. If not we'll start drawing names on Thursday. That means many of you will go the next week. This should alleviate some of the pressure, but look ahead and plan. If the week of 28th is crazy for you, go this coming week.

Happy practicing. You'll be great.
