Preparing the impromptu speech

Mark Twain said:
It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
He is right. It only takes one week to prepare a good prepared speech. My child custody trial continues on Jan. 12. I am going to need a good impromptu speech. I'd better start preparing.

A reader recommended a lawyer to me, so I called him. He seemed like a knowledgeable and sensible guy, but as soon as heard that I was in the middle of a trial, he chickened out. He did not even want to tell me what he fees are, because there is no way that he would step into such a fight in progress. He said that if there is some new action in a couple of years, and I want a lawyer to represent me from the start, then he is interested. Otherwise he would never get a firm enough grasp of the case, and would not want to be responsible for what he might have overlooked.

Makes sense not to want to jump into the middle; bummer that it didn't work out.

Whomever posted the blog against American women is an idiot. Women have the same problems with American men! You just lost alot of support on this blog. I will no longer share anything from this blog unless there is equality.
