About to leave for my public lecture. This will be an interesting experience. I think I am ready. I can wing it for sure. Lets hope I do not stumble at any point. There will of course be the added pressure of having N in the audience. Let us see what kind of an effect this will have on my oratory. I am almost tempted to totally discard my notes. But I think I will avoid the temptation. there will be little else from me tonight.
