On Your Mark, Get Set...Speech! What do you think Americans fear most? Death? Flying? The Dark? Big hairy spiders? Wrong! Americans fear speaking in public more than they fear death, the dark, flying or even big hairy spiders. The technical name for this fear is glossophobia, and severe cases will not be cured with a few quick tips for public speaking. Indeed, behavioral therapy may be in order. But for most of us, a little preparation will take away that ice in the belly, oh-what-have-I-gotten-myself-into fear that is experienced by many first-time presenters. click here for the conclusion to On Your Mark Get Set...Speech!

Traffic School To be honest, I was not very charitable. "Don't do me no favors", was what I was thinking, but I smiled graciously at the traffic cop as he explained to me that the fine for my traffic violation was $100.00. It was not the traffic cop who had roared into the 25-mph zone at 36 mph, he was just the messenger. And besides, he wasn't whom I was angry with; it was this loose nut behind the wheel that I blamed for this stupid predicament. You know -- the nut staring back at me from the rear view mirror.

Nobody's Baby No More I live life in the fast lane.... literally! Like the carnival barker says, "...you pays yer money, and you takes yer chances". I had been playing the odds successfully for some time, but eventually, the piper demands to be paid. And, like so many other criminals, it was no big event that tripped me up, but rather, a little thing. I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

Heart to Heart My folks had always participated in the local blood drives. Once a year, Dad would round up three kids and a dog into the red Rambler station wagon and troupe on down to the local grange for a Red Cross blood drive. As we would pull into the parking lot, I would see the bright lights shining from the grange kitchen, always a sure sign of my favorite activity - community treats! Mr. Jones would be on the front porch, greeting folks (...oh, come right on in! Just put your coats over there and take a seat. Gretchen will sign you in...there you go...), while the volunteer firemen and garden club ladies would be bustling around with one sleeve rolled up to show their community spirit and a fresh Band-Aid to mark their recent donations. More Heart to Heart, here! What do you get for being so brave? A sticker, of course! What? You were looking for *chocolate?
