Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Pam launched us off with a series of omens. We thus learned that….
- I, (Ana) no longer believe in salty superstitions and will soon deliver a speech on The Curse of the Broken Salt Shaker. I Won Best Table Topics Award.
- TM Jeff broke a mirror while remodeling the manatee section of his bathroom and he’s all the better for it. So much for THAT superstition!
- DTM Jim D. perched in Alaska, not only ponders about Haley’s Comet and the immortality of the crab but actually sees Aurora Borealis from his hotel window.
- TM Jim G. is convinced that the Rainbow’s End is a motel somewhere in Fort Lauderdale, not in Livingston, TX as he previously thought. He continues to search.
- TM Carmine whistles when he passes the Pompano Cemetery and urges all of us to do the same, especially on Halloween. It keeps the goblins at bay. It’s a fact.
- TM Joe has never seen a shooting star, in spite of those crazy family summer vacations of yesteryear when he had to look for his father’s lost car keys instead of looking at the open skies. He’s had a blessed life, though, so this superstition is undoubtedly the exception that confirms the rule….
We had excellent prepared speeches…
- TM Jose gave us some great pointers regarding conflict – the main one being a that good offense is offensive and “let’s agree to disagree” works slightly better.
- TM Marie learned some valuable life lessons from none other than her beloved late macaw, Sailor, who could not be fooled by wooden eggs, recovered from her abusive childhood and became happily addicted to fruit cups. She Won Best Speaker Award.
- DTM Mary Helen regaled us with a musical retrospective starring the twins from Gary, Indiana, originating with Que Sera Sera On A Good Ship Lollipop.
As far as evaluations go….
- DTM Kip will definitely and unequivocally map TM Jose’s speech to a Pathways Pathway and encouraged TM Jose to deliver the same speech twice which safeguards him (Jose) from finding a new topic.
- TM Aleta praised TM Marie for her heart-rendering tale of her friendship with her beloved pet, Sailor, which contained great life lessons for all of us who don’t have macaws or are mate-confused.
- TM Chris highlighted DTM Mary Helen’s down memory lane musical speech and asked her to incorporate karaoke into it, and more Doo-Wap Doo-Wap. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
BE PREPARED
Meaning: Be Prepared
Example: Be Prepared to take on any role when you arrive at EarlyBird on any given Thursday. Keep a stack of Crib Sheets handy to face up to any eventuality.
