Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Aleta set the mood with Love-themed Table Topics. We learned that…
- TM Paolo offers his services as Toaster-for-Hire at your next wedding. His enthusiasm is contagious and guarantees 100 years of marital bliss. Talk to his agent.
- TM Carmine stated that love of marriage fills you. As our former member Jerry used to say: “Go into marriage with your eyes wide open; stay in the marriage with your eyes half closed.”
- TM Chris spoke affectionately of her today absent scuba husband and revealed that the best way to resolve a disagreement is to ask yourself: “How important is it?” (It isn’t).
- TM Jeff is not very much into good pickup lines although he listens closely to good pickup lines from others in case he needs them one day.
- TM Tom pledged the 5th about having loved and lost and then waxed poetic about the beauty of having loved and lost. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
- Returning TM Scott missed the onset of online dating but would not hesitate to engage in it given half a chance.
- DTM Jim D.’s father wisely taught him that relationships are partnerships, not dictatorships. It’s worked well for him, since his last word is always “Yes, Dear”.
- DTM Mary Helen believes in marital reciprocity of love and communication. However, she unilaterally likes Jim’s last words “Yes, Dear.”
Along came the prepared speeches….
- I, Ana, revealed the murderous and savage origins of Valentine’s Day which turned – through ubiquitous and unrelenting marketing – into a trifecta of Hallmark, Godiva and the Colombian Rose Cartel. I Won Best Speaker Award.
- TM Marie told the story of Babette’s Feast, a culinary genius extraordinaire in Paris, who won 10,000 francs in the lottery and suffered from unrequited love.
As far as evaluations go…
- TM Paolo thoroughly enjoyed my Cupid background and hot pink blouse and scarf, the right setting for murder and mystery by love. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
- DTM Mary Helen was spellbound by TM Marie’s speech which fascinated her mind and captured her heart. She particularly loved the wine glass and the candle. Great props!
Our Toastmaster of the Day, DTM Kip, led us smoothly, zooming in from Cabbage Patch Key in Margaritaville – where a quickie before breakfast refers to a drink.
The Word of the Day was
UBIQUITOUS, adj.
Present, appearing or found everywhere.
Example: “The ubiquitous feeling of love was felt by the entire group.”

See you next week!
Lovingly submitted
Ana I.
