Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
DTM Jim D. got our taste buds in action with food-related topics... We soon discovered that...
* TM Aleta waits to read restaurant reviews before trying them, but it mostly depends on who's picking up the tab!!
* I, Ana, am a creature of habit and on rare visits to restaurants always choose the same menu item. Booooringggg....
* TM Marie has a wild array of eateries near her but her choices mostly depend on how hungry she is....
* TM BeckyJo once spilled onion soup on an unsuspecting customer who took it graciously and scooped it off her dress onto her mouth.
* TM Terri's favorite cuisine is Middle Eastern Platter - tabouli, hummus, falafel, babaganoush, baklava, kebobs r'more.- all smothered in olive oil.
* TM The Tom goes for casual or formal - his date calls the restaurant rating.
* TM Randolph now is of the opinion that QR codes to download the menu beat getting sick from the rampant germs on a paper menu, yukkkk! He Won Best Table Topics Award.
We had two interesting speeches today...
* TM Pam totally threw us for a loop with a transtitled speech "The Trees" which evolved into several roads less traveled - universal unitarianism, gratuitous media fearmongering, and the political divide that is the current harbinger of who knows what. She Won Best Speaker Award.
* DTM Mary Helen shared slides of a train ride from Poland to Berlin where they made lifelong friends before being booted from the wrong compartment. She was in full exercise of her DTM cause d'etre (don't time me).
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Gail was dazed and confused by the multiple plot switches in TM Pam's speech and suggested she take a course in "Proper Titles for Polithemed Speeches." She Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Terri praised DTM Mary Helen's vocal variety, clarity and her capacity to miss trains and reunite with her travel partner without missing a beat.
The Word of the Day was
HARBINGER, noun
A person or thing that announces or signals the approach of another.
Example:
Take courage, for the worst is a harbinger of the best.
Here's the link to the recording....
See you next week!
