After spending the weekend at the District 86 Toastmasters conference in Collingwood, I found myself completely exhausted on the Monday when I headed to my noon hour TM meeting. I had previously agreed to be videotaped for CKCO TV news during the Table Topics (impromptu speaking) portion of the meeting. I usually excel at TT. Apparently, this does not ring true when I am tired from a conference *and* have a video camera in my face. My brain was completely blank and I stumbled over my words, outputting something that could be called (kindly) a ramble, at best. I’m glad I agreed to it, although I wish I could have been slightly more eloquent and witty
