Yep, Waterloo - I made sure not to be near Ezra this past Sunday, that's for sure. Lol, the impromptu portion was too much for me in the first meeting so clammed up and I didn't participate (and they were fine with that). I waited several months before coming back. It took several more months to have the courage to try the impromptu speaking part, but by then I had completed about 4 speeches. A year later, I won 3rd place in the annual club competitive impromptu speaking - you walk into a room and they say your name and the title of the 'speech' and you walk up to the podium to deliver just having the time it takes to walk to the podium to prepare.
