Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Randolph introduced some intriguing Table Topics Extravaganza Part I, which helped us learn that…
- TM Paolo is inspired by his even-tempered wife who keeps calm in the midst of an offspring extravaganza…
- TM BeckyJo wonders about the secrets kept in the homeless community and would like to be homeless for a day… maybe.
- TM Aleta met her best friend in church by inviting him to visit her private paradise….
- I, Ana, am by nature a cowardly person and I overcome my fear to do it anyway….
- TM Pam, unfiltered, has no hidden talents, especially graciousness and patience, and has the attention span of a gnat….
- TM Carmine self censored things he did and would not do again due to audience rating….
- TM Jose would not change anything but would correct some things and repeat others that served him well. Ah… hindsight, hindsight…..
- Guest Lois equates summer with 3 words: bright, warm and fun!
- Future TM Sofia has lots of fun summer memories, mostly the absence of school and homework, pool and playing with friends…
For Table Topics Extravaganza, Part II, TM Pam introduced one-word topics….
- “Low” - TM Aleta is reminded of crawling under something, visiting caverns with stalactities and stalacmites and her fear of heights.
- “Shower” – TM BeckyJo likes showers of praise, respect, and mostly June showers which bring June orchids – she graced us with a visual tour.
- “Inversion” – TM Carmine launched into a merry-go-round of inversion conversion and revision derision. He won Best Extravagant Table Topics Award.
- “Prognosis” – TM Randolph confiscated his daughter’s phone for 3 days as a consequence for her sins of omission.
- “Cyclone” – I, Ana, was unsure of the difference between cyclone and typhoon and in any case, I prefer just your average tropical summer storm.
- “High Pressure” – Guest Lois thrives under high pressure, it motivates her, and inspires her to say “Hocus Pocus, Where’s My Focus?”
- “Lightning” – TM Paolo believes that the speaker sets the tone by appearing at the lectern like a bolt of lightning.
- “Rain” – Guest Sofia likes heavy clouds that pour down rain so the ducks near her home can finally take good showers.
TM Carmine non-lugubriously evaluated our entire meeting and asked the functionaries to give their reports.
- Ah Counter – Double duty done by Timer TM Jose, who, as described by TM Aleta, was AWE-some!
- Grammarian – TM Randolph reported noteworthy expressions, many of which are reported in this recap. See above. His favorite was TM Carmine’s SALUBRIOUS. Look it up.
- Zoom Master – I, Ana, expertly opine that we are all becoming experts at muting and unmuting ourselves.
The Word of the Day was
LUGUBRIOUS – adj.
Looking or sounding sad or dismal
Example: Our Table Topics Extravaganza was everything but lugubrious.
See you next week!
