Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Jim G. made us ponder about the imponderables of life – would you rather this or that? And thus we learned that…
- TM Randolph chooses Time over Money simply because with more Time, he would figure out a way to make more Money….
- I, Ana, have been stuck in a ski lift, swinging in mid air, wondering why, as a hot-blooded Cuban, I didn’t get stuck parasailing in the Caribbean instead!
- DTM Mary Helen would rather be an adult with childlike enthusiasm or be a child to get to meet her parents again – with the perspective of an adult. Oh this is very clearly confusing!
- TM Pam would rather slowly move forward because there’s been enough dang Pause in 2020. Besides, she’ll be on Pacific Time next week with her grandkids so she will definitely be in a time zone warp. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
- TM Tom would rather speak with (interesting) animals than learn all the world’s languages. He has antipathy for Wally Gator, though, for some reason he chose not to reveal until Level 5 in Pathways.
With regard to prepared speeches…
- TM Paolo, born in Puglia region (Apulia for gringos) on the heel of the Italian boot (see attached map), reminisced a sotto voce that his mother had a parto difficile, but nothing compared to his move to Miami 25 years ago dreaming of becoming Miami Vice’s “Sonny” Crockett. Allora, a wife, 6 children and a prosperous clothing business later, we look forward to hearing his many adventures as he lives out his plans.
- TM Marie is whetting our appetite to fill our Club’s upcoming officers’ slate – while cleverly conquering Mt Everest Pathways Level 5. Her panelists explained that the President has terrific backup, the Secretary only has to show up and have good legs and the VP Ed -in our club at least- does pretty much everything. Ah… the secret is out! There are no term limits. The initials are DTMKB. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As for evaluations….
- TM Chris is booking her flight to Puglia as we speak, where she hopes to take a 25-year vacation and live out her dream of being Sofia Loren – she will take her caro marito Giacomo Guld with her, though. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
- TM Aleta thoroughly enjoyed Moderator of the Day TM Marie’s speech and finds it mathematically impossible to evaluate a 20-minute speech in 2 minutes, darn it. She remarked that TM Marie’s new haircut is largely accountable for a Level 5 impact.
The Word of the Day was
ACCOUNTABILITY, n.
Quality or state of being accountable; willingness to accept responsibility for one’s actions.
Example: A certain someone takes personal accountability for banana peels carelessly dropped on the ground by irresponsible muppets and hillbillies.
