Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
It was definitely a gregarious meeting today - out-of-sequence sequence and an extraordinary abduction. We officially welcomed new Toastmaster Paula M. into our midst! Welcome, Paula!
* Our self-admitted over-committer, TM Aleta, inspired us with her tale of her Casino Royale Dead Money project - the final stretch on her road to DTM (Don't Time Me).. She is scholarship chair, secretary, parliamentarian, tractor fixer, snow-plower, fire stoker who defines herself as adroit in managing 24 rogue actors. She Won Best Only Speaker Award.
* Immediately -if not sooner- evaluated by TM Paolo - who displayed his usual gregarious enthusiastic self and roguely defied any time constraints. He Won Best Only Evaluator Overtime Award.
And, last but not least, we had RomCom Table Topics. We found out that...
* TM Marie thinks if a girl has 9 goats and her fiance has 1 goat, she needs to look for a goatier guy - they're usually found dancing the Sirtaki in Santorini or Mykonos.
* TM Paula stated that therapists would be jobless if patients simply applied the motto "Snap out of it" to their lives. Think of all the money people would save!!
* DTM Mary Helen wants the fairy tale - people to follow her script and behave as they should. If they did, it would be a reality tale, not a fairy tale.
* TM Pam forbids her husband to have a heart attack at least until her personal trainer gets her in tip-top shape to take care of him. So there!
* TM Aleta, ever a fan of old movies, agrees with the adage that divorce lasts forever, till death do us part. Except for crazy people who marry the same person twice, when there's soooo many people on Planet Earth.
* DTM Jim D's parents were married for 60 years and gave each other symbolic Valentine Day cards throughout their resilient years of marriage.
* TM Randolph discussed self-awareness with his daughter to make her more aware of potentially suspicious surroundings. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Tom has given his heart to heartless women, and concluded that he should have written the movie script for "Say Anything" (1989) and he would have at least gotten a pen!
The Word of the Day was
GREGARIOUS, adj.
social, sociable, fond of company
Example: Extroverts are gregarious, introverts are ungregarious. The world's population is polarized on this pesky little adjective.

See you next week!
