Logical Fallacies, Centering Prayer and Watercolors - a morning of alacrity at EarlyBirds!
Dear Members, Friends and Guests:
Recap done a posteriori - based on experience gleamed from the impeccable recording.
TM Aleta started us off with an invocation that irrefutably demonstrated that kids are as bratty today as they were in the times of Socrates (470-399 BC (before computers). Ahhhh. some things just never change!
TM The Tom did a Sequel of a Logical Fallacies deck of cards. We found out that...
* TM Ricardo's favorite movie is Bambi, which to him symbolizes Ad Hominem, pure and simple.
* DTM Mary Helen abhors to quoque - attacking opponents by criticizing them. What cheap shots. That's because she's not a politician...
* TM Aleta's profession makes her adroit with persuasive influence and leads her to presentation mastery with unequivocal engaging humor and there you go! She's completed all 11 Pathways, pretty much. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Chris is convinced that social media appeals to our emotions (it's all about the likes) and 200 hours of video are uploaded every minute to YouTruuuube. Get a handle, people!
* DTM Jim D. has good anecdotal practices and disarms opponents with storytelling rather than confusing them with boring statistics. It really works!
* TM Jim very smartly accepts that begging the question is futile in spousal circular arguments. One person is invariable right, and the other is the husband.
Along came prepared speeches....
* TM Marie suggested we use silence to find out what God is doing within us, make a steady commitment to stillness and keep returning to your sacred word... "A Man's Reach is Further Than His Grasp - Or What's a Heaven For?"
* TM Pam was able to share the screen with us of the results of her watercolor hobby, and we were keenly aware that in her watercolor world, pelicans eat dandelions in a field of magnolias all because of the extra salt of the earth. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go...
* Returning TM Paolo was impressed with TM Marie's message of seeking the presence of God but her speech would have more spiritual breath and depth if given in Italian... or at least in Latin. Per secula seculorum! Ite, missa est.
* TM Terri praised TM Pam for her audience awareness, her comfort level, and inspiring us to persist with alacrity in sharing screens while the pelicans eat Florida Pink Shrimp. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
ALACRITY, noun
Brisk and cheerful readiness
Example: Let's all brush up on our Latin with alacrity, people! Get your Trosetta Strome out of that closet, NOW!

See you next week!
