My speech at the Minnesota Justice event was okay. Not the best one I’ve given, but people seemed to like it. Afterwards, I went out with some my friend and some of her colleagues to a local bar. I was the only man sitting at a table of six or seven women. It was one of those circumstances where it was easier (and more interesting) to simply listen to their threads of conversation. I tend to get quiet in large social gatherings. It’s mostly a matter of having a soft voice and not wanting to even try to shout to be heard, cuz it ain’t gonna happen. This probably gives people the mistaken impression that I’m some kind of wallflower. I need to invent a portable amplifier so that I can go to parties and completely dominate conversations with a whisper.
