Finish the Sentence: National Speaking Tour

Gong Show National Speaking Tour

In March 2007, I went on a 12-date, 10-city national speaking tour, back and forth across Canada from Victoria all the way to Halifax. I got to share some of my adventures with all sorts of people, not least the travel nuts at Travel CUTS who kindly sponsored the whole thing. Being on the road, I figured I should continue to annoy people and ask them to finish the sentence. Here’s some of the people I met, and what they had to say.
