November 6th meeting this week. My political work is going well. Have speaking gig in K. on the 15th and another one on the 17th in A. will be bringing S. to both and she will also be speaking. To her be the limelight, I say.
Tony Blair is coming to town and we're going to have a polite vigil and rally questioning his competence at peace-making for Northern Ireland when he's done such a crap job at it in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I'm speaking and a friend's speaking. I'll write the speech as a few illegible scratches on a small sheaf of index cards, which will somehow help. Then I won't look at the speech.
I'll be interested to see how my friend composes a speech. Does she read it, or hold it in the hand and look in the audience's eyes, or does she glance at it now and then?
