Fall, Culture Shock Follies and Childhood Memories - no procrastination at EarlyBirds!




Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

We heard a very touching invocation by First Time Invocator TM Emmanuel, 

TM BeckyJo started us with words containing Fall or variations thereof.  We soon discovered that....

* DTM Mary Helen likes the warm rainfall of Florida in November to cool us off to frisky high 70s.
* TM Paolo loves windy days indoors in Puglia, the heel of Salvatore Ferragamo's boot, where the Adriatic and the Ionic Sea winds converge to mess up his ultra gelled hairdo.
* TM Emmanuel is Florida Power & Light's top customer - keeps his lights on 24/7.  He's moving to Alaska to lighten up his bill.
* TM Val remarked that fall rains are aggressive and beat the frail orange, yellow and brown leaves to the ground in preparation for snow submission.
* DTM Jim D. grew up in Syracuse NY, where less than 4 ft of snow was considered a lame flurry.
* TM Marie makes To Dos of her To Dos - like a circle in a spiral notebook, like a wheel within a wheel, never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel.
* TM Aleta's fallback position is on a pile of recently raked leaves before they go to compost.
* I, Ana, suffer from a condition known as tourist fallfoot which is cured with SuperTourist Glue.  I Won Best Table Topics Award

Regarding prepared speeches...

* I, Ana, recounted my first impressions of the United States:  ranchthousandislandsgreengoddessfrenchcreamycaesarraspberrywalnutsroastedsesamehoneymustard.  Closely followed by honeybunchesofoatscapncrunchcheeriosspecialkfrostedflakescocoapuffs.  I Won Best Speaker Award.
* DTM Jim Day was voluntold to speak by his Agent, told us that they paved Syracuse and put up a parking lot (sung to the tune of They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot).

First-time General Evaluator TM Val graciously led the evaluations segment.

* TM Paolo related to my foreigner experiences and kindly asked me to stop looking everywhere except at the camera, which gave him strabismus. (Look it up).  He Won Best Evaluator Award.
* DTM Mary Helen submitted a written affidavit to avoid bias and favoritism and praised DTM Jim for moving to another level of successful unpreparedness for a speech.  From one DTM to another.

The Word of the Day was

PROCRASTINATION, verb

To delay or postpone action needlessly.

Example:  Procrastination is a mystical land where 99% of human productivity, motivation and achievement is safely stored.


See you next week!
