That was great. Ever think about speech writing?
All the time. It is definitely a dream job of mine. Current job: raising 4 kids, the youngest sleeping on me right now in a fit of teething agony.
But every speech I hear I note whether I could have written one better or not. Many I could have improved. Actually, I do not like Romney, but his speech last night was pretty good, sadly. People might believe it as if he meant any of it. And my guy, Santorum, gave a lackluster speech, though at least he was mostly winging it. I hear that Romney just repeats lines from his written-for-him stump speech in his acceptance speeches.
Please do not give up on your dream. You are so articulate and eloquent...plus so sensible. That is very rare. I sympathize with you holding a teething baby. Wish I was there..I would give you a break and hold him awhile. I have a 9 year old grandson. I remember those teething days...moreso..the nights.
I am a frustrated editor. Oft times, I have to fight the urge to grab my red pen and correct something in my newspaper.
