He tried mightily.

He’s a natural! This is what public speaking is all about! Especially the anecdotes and jokes – don’t make them up…

Marcus is doing great! Being funny without trying is truly a gift!

So far, so good Marcus!

What happened with the reporter? Did he ever print the true story?

I think it’s safe to say we are all cheering for Marcus at the lectern more than we ever would on the field! Talk about tackling your opponent …! Go Marcus!

Marcus has discovered something wonderful—that if you can keep your audience laughing, your audience will pay close attention to everything you’re saying.

I will be (once again), leading evening tours at Laurel Hill Cemetery this weekend. I know that even though I can’t always see my audience, their laughter is important. If they’re laughing in the right places (and yes, there are some very funny stories), I’m doing something right.

I hope the Bucs are that lucky on Sunday.

Rollin’, rollin, rollin’…..

He’ll be hot on demand on the speaker circuit….a good-looking, hunkie football player who has a great sense of humour…..wow! He’ll raise thousands …..ummmm…hundreds of thousands of dollars for the hospital’s needs. What a nice aurprise for the audience!

Maybe the Chargers won last Sunday because of the national anthem… anyone like the Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus?
