Moonstruck, Karma and What's Next - a fun morning at Early Birds!

 

 


Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

TM Scott was reinducted into the Early Bird fold.  Welcome back!  He lost no time to jump right back into the swing of things.

DTM Jim D. led us in a hopscotch of table topics.  We soon learned that….

  • TM Tom’s originally outdoor cat is now a fully masked N-95 indoor cat who has led his owner to be moonstruck and oblivious of timing lights.
  • I, Ana, with great hindsight would enjoy my last vacation more fully and with pandemic blessings, I have morphed into an unabashed germophobe.
  • DTM Kip once had a disastrous interview with a hostile female who misread him and prevented him from gainful employment to ungainful but happily independent self-employment. 
  • TM BeckyJo had a pickpocket student guest who stole change from the Church’s coffers and returned it not out of guilt but due to international travel luggage weight limits.
  • TM Jim G. recommends repairing loose wires in the bilges of a boat amidst foul surrounding smells only when your olfactory sense is impaired by The Virus.
  • TM Carmine is gathering up courage to go skydiving – in the meantime he enjoys scrumptious lunches at Italian restaurants where Zoom acquaintances become lifelong friends.
  • TM Jeff’s last camping adventure involved caterpillars falling out of the sky and he’s thankful they were not iguanas.  He Won Best Table Topics Award.

Along came the intriguing prepared speeches…

  • TM Pam compared her La Leche League’s support of Mom’s Milk and Baby Pupils to Toastmasters, where proteges soon become empowered mentors.  She Won Best Speaker Award.
  • TM Aleta found out that Horrorizon covers the entire US but becomes truly w-i-r-e-l-e-s-s on her property.   She spent the early part of 2022 wearing a surgical boot on her spur-less pinky toe raised above her heart trying to figure out what’s next?  She soon found out….

And then we heard helpful evaluations…

  • DTM Mary Helen related to the sheer terror of having a first baby who came without an Owner’s Manual and not having the wisdom of your own mother to guide -or misguide you-along.  She Won Best Evaluator Award.
  • TM Paolo enjoyed TM Aleta’s speech for its vocal variety, body language and great humor.   Now we all know that moonstruck SouthWest Penn Hover & Flight live up to its name.

TM Marie evaluated the entire meeting and praised TM Randolph for being a solid anchor, keeping us on time and on task.

The Word of the Day was

 

MOONSTRUCK, adj.

 

Unable to think or act normally, especially when dumbstruck by love.

Mentally deranged by the influence of the moon.

 

Example: 

 

Woke werewolves howling on full moon nights have demanded to be known as romantic moonstruck lobos.

See you next week!

 

Derangedly moonstruck,

 

Ana
