I Pledge Allegiance

Every American-raised child can relate to this morning ritual. We all stand up, mumble a few words, and then continue our daily lives.

And now for ... The Invocation!

Wow, this is the first blog I've ever done!

Toastmasters

“And now.... for... The Invocation!”

Rats. And while the heads bow, mine remains tall, and while the eyes close, mine roam the room for another who may reject the nonsense as I do; some common soul. But as is often the case, either there are none or they aren’t brave enough to de-cloak. I’ve done this “look around” lots of times.
