CHEER UP, EVERYONE’S HAD THEIR MOMENT I’m tempted to begin this the way Reader’s Digest used to: So you want to give a speech… There you are in the den, the kitchen or the dining room, and you’re thinking, How do I get out of it? The original invitation probably left you almost limp with self-over. They like me, they really like me. But now it is three weeks later and the speech is Tuesday and your mouth is dry as cotton, your heart dysrhhythmic, and its wild thumping you are hearing the words: IGIVE it, I GOT to stand there and they’ll ALL be LOOKing at me… Your first thoughts are constructive alternatives: If I get in a car accident I won’t have to speak. But it’s hard to calibrate the exact extent of injury when you swerve across the fast lane into a divider, so you reconsider. And sit. And shift in your chair. And begin, in a desultory manner, to type: “Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. It is nice to be here.” Try a joke.
