I'm guest speaking in a class (LGBT class) later today. I know this is last minute, and I'm pretty confident about the class. My goal isn't to put people to sleep though, and I feel that talking too much about me will do that. I'm going to talk for probably 10 to 20 minutes, and then field questions. Not that long, but something that needs a little prep work.

Please let me know.
