I went to my daughter's (high school) graduation yesterday. The speeches were uniformly weak except for the school trustee, who's job is basically campaigning or speaking at graduation ceremonies. Part of it was a graduate talking

This used to work for me, but inner-ear aging has made swings no phone for me. Though I'd probably take the chance on a trapeze or big enough rope swing at the beach!
