Earth Day, Culinary Delights by Introverts or Extroverts and As Luck Would Have It - a varied day in EarlyBirds!!



Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

 

TM Marie launched us off with pertinent topics about Earth Day.  We soon found out that….

 

  • TM Aleta’s blossoms include – but are not limited to- azaleas, daffodils, hyacinths (all of which she was wearing on her dress today)…
  • TM Paolo makes the most of today by not thinking about the future and that pesky flight to Miami which awaits him on the tarmac.
  • TM Scott escapes his tyrannical thoughts by letting them come and letting them glide through…
  • I, Ana, am indeed enchanted by the sea and looking forward to a summer as a beach bum…
  • TM Tom enjoys walking, especially since walking with a certain someone is what led him to our group.   He Won Best Table Topics Award.
  • DTM Kip is on a noble mission to simplify his life by decluttering and letting go of unauspicious accumulation.

 

Along came the prepared speeches…

 

  • TM Jose watered our mouths with a visual pictorial of the many facets of paella and other fabulous rices, and paired it off with a delightful taste of good vino!
  • TM Carmine kept us on our toes by asking whether several of us were introverts or extroverts – and it turns out most of us are a combination of both!  He Won Best Speaker Award.
  • TM Pam put on her Dina Lurner façade and asked us to consider “What’s luck got to do with it?”  Let’s join her Level 5 High Performance Leadership Guidance Committee and find out!

 

As far as evaluations…

 

  • TM Randolph already has a paella dish, affirmed that he will no longer (heretically) use it for pizza and is buying calamari, shrimp and short-grain rice as we speak.
  • TM Scott commended TM Carmine on his clever strategies to engage the audience and to ask ourselves “Am I extro or intro – or, most likely, bi-extrointro?  He Won Best Evaluator Award.
  • TM Tom praised TM Pam for waking him up at the mention of the Mardishianns and their billion-dollar viral derrieres.

 

The Word of the Day was

 

AUSPICIOUS, adjective

 

Showing or suggesting that future success is likely.

 

Example:  Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage was auspicious and morphed into suspicious.
