Vivid dreams, river of grass and Zoomverse

 

Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

 

TM Carmine started us off with quotes from Heraclides Ponticus, first cousin of Zorba the Greek (stage name of Anthony Quinn – you young ones, google him)

 

• DTM Mary Helen realized as she spoke that it is in changing that we find purpose.  She always thought it was the other way around.
• TM Pam says much learning teaches understanding – although she thinks she doesn’t need any more learning, only everybody else does.
• TM Jose doesn’t expect the unexpected – the unexpected finds him!!!  Stay tuned for Covid Lockdown, Spanish Style, a.k.a. Who Knows What’s What?
• TM Jim G. works diligently on the content of his character, and mostly has become a character!!  We love you, Jim!
• I (TM Ana) realized that humans are the only species that stumble twice on the same rock (also known as marriage).  I Won Best Table Topics Award.

 

In the prepared speeches…

 

• TM Denis has Melatonin-fueled vivid dreams where the Intracoastal Bridge gets locked in the open position and as a result, TM Denis ends up living in a paradise ecovillage where he is the perennial mayor.   He Won Best Speaker Award.
• TM Tom shared with us a historic story of Henry Flager, who sold land by the gallon.  Then came the Big Bad Sugar Barons and polluted the Everglades and Lake Okechobee.  A lengthy and complicated trial case ended abruptly with the invention of Liquid Stevia.
• DTM Kip transported us to Zoomverse, a land of special lights, action and cameras where we audition for the script called Life in 2020.  We are all listed in the credits.

 

As far as evaluations…

 

• TM Pam loved TM Denis’ theory of the harsh relentless monopolization of elites prior to wealth redistribution but unfortunately his microphone put her in an altered state.   She Won Best Evaluator Award.
• TM Jim G. was amazed to learn that cattails are upright unisexual  perennial plants that emerge from creeping rhizomes, act slowly and repent in haste when used as a food spice.
• TM Marie, along with the rest of us, was catapulted by DTM Kip into Zoomverse and she definitely knows all about gadget lust.

 

 

The Word of the Day was

 

MISCONSTRUE, verb

 

To misinterpret or interpret something incorrectly (intentionally or not).

 

Example:  I have perhaps misconstrued a few ideas in this recap.  Now I leave it up to you to determine whether it’s intentional or not.
