Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Pam made us think about the autumnal equinox, set to happen precisely tonight at 9:22 pm (give or take).... and now we know that...
* TM Marie doesn't want to say goodbye to the summer (sung to the tune of Cliff Richards' 1965 "I Don't Want To Say Goodbye To the Summer").
* TM Val is set to clean up her back yard, restain the deck and prune the lillies... as soon as next summer arrives on June 22, 2023 at precisely 9:22 pm (give or take).
* TM Chris has been waiting 5 years (as Jim is her witness) to eat caprese salad with homegrown basil in direct defiance of local grocery stores.
* TM Jim G. hibernates on lobster, sprinkled with a few bugs and doused with a generous dose of honey and oats. Yummmm.
* I, Ana, know for sure it's Fall when the inside temperature of my Igloo remains at a steady below freezing temperature and I must wear two scarves instead of one.
* DTM Jim D. innoculates himself with Dr. Jack Daniels and vintage Dr. Francis Ford Coppola while verifying the different colors of snow bird license plates (Je Me Souviens) He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Aleta used to display Halloween decorations to show off to her friends - who have since moved to Florida with the others (Je Me Souviens) She's planning a Zoom video tour to impress us.
* Returning TM Astrid, aka Asteroid, plans to hibernate in Miami Beach. Enough of those winters in NYC. (Je Me Souviens).
* Guest Emmanuel hopes to overcome public speaking anxiety in Toastmasters. We're much better than Lexapro!!
And along came the prepared speeches...
* TM Val pondered whether the hearer hears what they hear here or does the hearer say what the sayer hears? That, my friends, is the ultimate question. She Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Chris dances salsa while she cooks (.09% of the time) and she and TM Jim sailed all the way to the UK on a flotation amphibious controlled Recreational Vehicle while Karaoking Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Jim G. liked TM Val's parables - a heart murmur is cured with a hot mama. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Aleta admired TM Chris's talent for multimedia and praised her Johnny Depp-inspired role in the home video of Pirates of the Atlantic.
