I'm going to hear the former Vice President!

We had an AMAZING turn-out and the lecture was great. I had no idea that Gore was such a good speaker with a hilarious sense of humor. I'm definitely grateful for the chance to hear him speak.

Gayle, as far as health issues, he discussed the effect of temperature and climate on the spread of disease. He talked about how insects become more prevalent during hotter seasons and therefore diseases are more common. He also discussed the fact that the cold often slows down the reproduction of bacteria. Judy probably has a much better understanding of that kind of thing than I do, but it was interesting.

Judy has a mad crush on Al Gore! Too bad he is married. He taught in Manhattan. I would have signed up for his class and batted my eyelashes at him.

LOL! He'd probably love to hear that. He told a story at the beginning of his lecture about the passage of time. He was in a restaurant one evening and a lady kept staring at him and he noticed. Well, eventually she came up to him and said, "You know, you would look JUST like Al Gore if you dyed your hair brown." He said he just smiled and said, "Thank you for that." Then she said, "You sound like him, too." He said he just thanked her again. He cracked me up!

I found this for you Judy!

You should watch the first five or ten minutes. He is pretty funny. Now don't swoon too much!



Edit: And don't hate me, but I had front row seats. LOL

Thank you Angie! I will listen to his whole speech when I am having my coffee tomorrow morning. I watched a few minutes, and he is still hot. I love intelligent men.

An interesting fact is that many, maybe even most (since I don't hear everyone) politicians are VERY good speakers and pretty charismatic - or else they wouldn't have gotten that far in politics.

I've never attended a speech by a politician that I didn't think was very well delivered, and I found myself being captivated by the speaker.

How cool, he always seems like such a character! And it is refreshing that he cares about the environment.

I love good speakers. Maybe because I know I could never do what they do. LOL
