Profound Revelations, Meals and Ordeals - persistence is the name of the game at EarlyBirds



Dear Members, Friends and Guests,

TM Randolph led us with thought-provoking quotes from Neat, Stray and Dove.  We soon discovered that...

* TM Aleta sometimes slams the door before eating a box of bakery or home made cookies.
* DTM Jim D. purposely does not wear glasses when he looks in the mirror because he likes blurry images.
* DTM Mary Helen pondered that "if it is to be, it's up to me" is truly a truism.
* TM BeckyJo has concluded that resentments corrode the resenter and forgiveness heals from the inside out.  She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Jose used to time travel and presently stays in the present and persistently avoids mosquito raids.
* I, Ana, made a commitment to not get any tattooes because they're tough to erase when girth expands.
* TM Pam has no resentments because her mind's doorway has been completely cleared.
* TM Val affirmed that tears heal and cleanse the soul especially while showering.
* TM Jim G. stated that 'dolce far niente' comes very naturally to him and he persistently practices it.
* TM Tom attained a balanced life after several attempts at crawling without balance.

Then came the prepared speeches...

* DTM Jim D. delighted us with his epicurean adventures in a family diner where he hurled 17,000 gallons of batter, 25,000 eggs, 40,000 bacon strips and 30,000 hash browns to feed a crowd of 20.   He Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Tom revealed that he carries a dynamite stick in his back pocket when he presides over his Condo Commando board meetings, while persistently taking his blood pressure.

As far as evaluations go...

* TM BeckyJo loooved DTM Jim's hilarious speech, those internal questions we've all asked ourselves and wants to know who cooks breakfast in his household.  She Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Randolph makes spaguetti 'al dente' and instead of pushing or pulling it, he simply hurls it against the kitchen wall.
