Everything is rehearsed.
But where I rehearsed it is key.
I rehearsed it in the summertime.
I eventually would deliver in November.
I went to, I kid you not, I went to a local mosquito infested swamp.
And I, on a little tiny little spit of land in the middle of the swamp, I rehearsed, I practiced my speech.
So I was physically, very physically uncomfortable.
There's mosquitoes buzzing everywhere.
You hear them.
There's swamp.
It's a rather long walk to get there.
I did not rehearse it anywhere else, by the way.
I only rehearsed it in the very uncomfortable, dismal swamp and often past sundown where it was dark and I couldn't see much of anything.
So when I go out there on stage to deliver it, it's relatively comfortable.
It's a relatively easier physical space in which to be delivering the speech.
And it relatively was a relief.
Oh, I'm doing it now.
There's no mosquitoes.
I can actually see things.
There's no frogs croaking or what's that?
