Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Chris enlightened us with quotes from famous and not-so-famous people. We were soon to discover that,,,,
* DTM Jim D. rises early to get those hot cinnamon buns, forget the worm!
* TM Tom firmly believes that chocolate makes the world go round.
* TM Astrid agrees that life is a daring adventure although at 7 am mentally it's mostly nothing.
* TM Jim G. tries to go with the flow so he doesn't get bent out of shape as easily.
* TM Pam remembers growing up with her squooshy grandmother and her rigid grandmother - and they were only in their 50s back then!! She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Randolph's best learning moments have been after putting his hand on a hot stove as a young child ignoring his mother. Now he watches his kids do the same thing.
* DTM Mary Helen ponders why doing nothing is hard since she always seems to be doing nothing while doing something and going somewhere but ending up anywhere.
Regarding the prepared speeches...
* TM Marie explained that she used to be an expert in everything but she has realized that with not knowing comes learning and keeps you from getting stuck in the muck of your having to unlearn what you had made up anyway. She Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Aleta showed us what courage is: grace under pressure. She managed a difficult audience and did not take it personally.
And then came the evaluations...
* TM Tom sincerely apologized for being such a natural-born heckler and marveled at how the role came so naturally to him. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Randolph was absolutely positively comprehensively inspired by TM Marie's gumption in revealing how she empties out her mind of thoughts and other needless objects.
The Word of the Day was
GUMPTION, noun
enterprise, initiative
common sense, horse sense
Example: It takes a lot of gumption and lacks a lot of gumption to ride a saddleless horse.

See you next week!
