I would assume clear eyes means you do not suffer from allergy problems and a full heart is suggestive of superior cardiac output. Perspective.Quote:

I started to think it was because the PowerPoints were what I thought was important, and not necessarily what the learners thought was important.

For big conferences you can't do this, but I LOVE these presentations because they are always so different.Quote:

Most presenters are absolutely terrible at presenting. They are fantastic at research. They are generally exceedingly knowledgeable. They just absolutely blow as presenters. They either read their slides or their slides are too busy.Quote:

Unfortunately, he didn't realize it was missing until we were multiple miles on down the road. We have talked to the coffee shop, thrift store, sheriff's department, and city hall. Hoping someone turns it in. He doesn't remember his AppleID info so can't try that until they get home. It is definitely not hiding in the van.Quote:
