I Prefer the Casket

"According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you are better off in the casket than doing the eulogy."
~Jerry Seinfeld

This is one of my favorite quotes of Jerry's. Probably because it is totally me. I HATE public speaking. I always have and I probably always will.

I have to get up in front of people this weekend and talk about my India trip and how it impacted me or a story that sums up the experience...in 2 minutes. Yes I know, 2 minutes isn't that much to get all worked up about and it's not worth getting nervous about. But I WILL get nervous! If it's anything that has to do with getting up in front of people...I would rather be 6 feet underground at that point. Plus, how can I possibly describe a trip like this in 2 minutes. I wouldn't even want to do that. It leaves too much out.

So, if you want to come and listen about the team's India experience, 7:00pm on Saturday is when it will be.

Off to dig my hole...
