I decided to reorg it this way.  Maybe I'll redo it.  I've started
practicing it, and I can tell you that I'm going to have to practice
it once per day from now until the day of the presentation.  Ums and
ahs and you-knows and pauses and stubling, and it just sounds lame in
general.  The slides are shaping up (I think), but there has to be a
lot of spoken content, and that really needs work.

I added some of that to my notes.

I'm going to see if anyone else has posted suggestions and then put up
another update (by noon EST).
