They contacted me just a couple of days before dad was scheduled to be deployed. The family was headed out to Apex the day before he left, and it just happened to be a day that I was available for a session. We really wanted to do an outdoor session, but the weather here in NC is nothing if not unpredictable. The sky just didn't want to cooperate with

Last month I stood in front of 3,000 people on a Sunday night in Las Vegas, while at WPPI 2012, and delivered a 5-minute talk about The Fascinating Truth About Lying. After giving a number of much longer presentations to even larger groups, you wouldn't think this would have been that difficult. It's just five minutes, right? But it's 5 minutes completely out of your control - the slides move forward every 15 minutes, no matter where you are, and the entire presentation h
