Yes, I was that man, the one talking to two hundred or so Rotarians,

allegiance--I've heard it often enough, but I'm fuzzy on the
words--and joining in with the singing of "Home of the Range," which
was chosen specially to honor my talk.
Emily came.
I opened with, "What an honor it is to be speaking to this august
body...[pause]...in the last week of July." It was a bit of a test.
After a pause in which it seemed to me you could hear people thinking,
they laughed, first just a few and then with others joining in, and I
knew they'd follow the rest of the talk and attend carefully. If they
hadn't laughed, what would I have done?
March right out of there!!!!
