I've been giving speeches all over the County the past 2 weeks. I'm very comfortable in front of strangers, and by all accounts I've been doing pretty well.
Last night I gave a speech in Asbury Park in front of a crowd of people that in large measure, I knew. I've never done that before. Much to my surprise, I found myself feeling quite pressured and nervous. I can't explain why. I felt I gave my worst performance to date. Jim Keady, who I have complimented in the past as one of the best public speakers I've ever seen (if I could be him in front of a jury in my next case I'd probably make enough to retire) came over and gave some much needed tips on delivery. He's a pro at this and makes this very diffucult endeavor of public speaking look easy. I greatly appreciate the advice Jim. I have another this morning and I think I'll get some confidence back concentrating on what you told me. By the way Jim Keady, Ed Johnson and Jimmy Bruno, none of them to my knowledge are Republicans, braved a room full of R's to be there for me because I'm an Asbury guy. I love this City. That they were there added credibility to what I was doing in front of the Committee people that have to vote next week. Thanks again gentleman. Yahoo!
