Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
We were delighted to be visited again by our Area Director, TM Marc, as well as (2) guests, Ann and Suzette. And returning TM Manny regaled us with a heartfelt invocation...
TM Marie led us pink-themed topics. We soon discovered that...
* TM Pam was a blonde girl and traumatized for life for having to wear lame faded pastel pink. Pink does not even exist in her wardrobe color palette. So there!
* Guest Ann, like most of us, knows women who have suffered from breast cancer, and the pink bow logo inspires her to think positively.
* Guest Suzette likes Pink's old songs but no longer moves mountains by whispering to them, she only hums....
* TM Paolo has moved the wife and all the bambini to South Florida and wants to live fully before he dies or he'll die before he lives, as wisely stated by Inspector Clouseau.of Pink Panther fame.
* *TM Jose;s favorite band is Pink Floyd, censored in Franco's Spain - note from author: way before social media adopted the practice of censorship - and was Comfortably Numb with Just Another Brick in the Wall.... He Won Best Table Topics Award.
Along came the prepared speeches...
* TM Christine adored the virgin reef off Jardines de la Reina (Gardens of the Queen) where the Cuban sharks, Cuban groupers, Cuban moray eels sip Cuban cafecitos and guava pastries at the Cuban Reef Bar as they await their fake $150 visas to exile themselves in Miami - so close and yet so far!
* TM Mary Helen witnessed a half marathon in Hamburg, the cradle of our beloved hamburgers, and instead of running has started walking and meeting her neighbors, establishing connections and ensuring a long happy connected life.
Both speakers showed wanton disregard for the timing requirements but hey, it was well worth it for the rest of us.
And then came the evaluations...
* TM Terri praised TM Christine's good organization and panache in her yoga outfit to pet her new Cuban best buddy, the Mooray Eel (la Morena). . And blessed be the silence of technological disconnection!
* TM BeckyJo loved DTM Mary Helen's vocal variety and enjoyed the neighborhood connections in an environs where everything - and everyone?- loosk the same. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
