Most of my opening stories are relatively short, but I have one or two that are by comparison much longer. Try as I might, I can't cut them down. They're the stories my audiences love most. I make sure that there's something in the beginning of the story that cues the audience in to why I'm telling the story and how it might apply to them. Paul,
