Apparently you do. Of course, I learned my tequila lesson before I was 21 ...

Do some deep breathing to get the brain cells going!! Hope the 2 hours doesn't become like 4! Good luck w/getting through it all!

That whole 5th Amendment thing....

Only means a government cannot compel one to speak.

I did two quick sets on the bowblex which forced me into the deep breathing. Also time for some tea I think.

Good idea! Guess your eyes are getting a bit bleary from focusing intensely on the screen?!

The worse part will be tomorrow when I actaully rehearse this thing and try to expand on some of the BS I've put in this thing. I'm averaging one slide every 2 minutes which is a bit long. Must remember to talk slow and tell nice long stories .:rolleyes:

You shouldn't have asked. "The mini bridge. An introduction to culvert planning and design"

Finished in just over two hours. I'll take a look at it again in a few hours. I'm not happy with it at all. Not my usual PowerPoint due to a lack of photos.

Lawyers love airline employees. I haven't met an airline employee that wasn't selected to sit on a jury.

The one time I had to report for jury duty, all the Asians in the room got out of sitting for the jury because they pretended they didn't speak english. We were all laughing (including the judge) at their attempts to answer the questions asked of them. They all said the same thing, "Hello my name is xxx" to every questions.

Drunk is the only way I prefer to watch baseball. Boring.
