I say, forget the 15 minute guideline and take all night. That way you can over all of the options, just to make sure you've covered it adequately. The only thing I would suggest other than that, is to put each option on a set of cards, and shuffle them up. It's always good to keep 'em guessing. Since you're in the biz and all.

I don't believe he's doing much these days, aside from running around saving tasty, um, I mean, helpless baby seals. He might be eager for the chance to pull the ol' striped tights on one more time. For a good cause and all. You know, Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver) started off as a mime.

And besides, you have something to say that everyone wants to hear about a very important subject! Congratulations on all the awards.

One of my 3 1/2 year old twin girls has Leukemia, diagnosed a year ago July. She has a year and 2 months of Chemo treatments left... You inspire thousands of people including My family. I was laughing so hard at this blog entry it made me cry... I am glad you are doing well and I just hope that the Philly speech is videotaped and put on your blog for all to see!!!
