Idioms, It’s Not Them and Musical Remix - a segue into other realms at EarlyBirds!


Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

I, Ana, started us off with Table Topics...

* TM Chris is proof positive that no pain, no gain is a truism and she is soon-to-be prouncing and hopping around on her brand new knee! 
* TM Marc finds that it's always darkest before the dawn in an astronomical sense, especially when he does a crack-of-dawner to join EarlyBirds!
* TM Randolph is unsure when to throw caution to the wind and when to act with prudence, he is going to google it.
* TM Gail admires the Gulds for throwing caution to the wind, embarking on a seafaring adventure and spilling the beans about it!
* TM Marie thinks ladders are an endangered species, soon to be replaced by drones.  She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM BeckyJo's off-her-rocker teenager was brought back to the recliner by her off-her-rocker Mom.
* DTM Mary Helen thinks well begun is half done, expecially when making banana cupcakes.

We then segued into our prepared speeches...

* TM Pam firmly believes in random acts of kindness to them/they/she/her/him and especially to her frenemy husband, in a striking evolutionary move ahead of neanderpoliticals.
* TM Aleta, our very own version of Casey Kasem's Top 40s, succumbed to DTM Mary Helen's 35-year pleas and after wishing she could turn back time, decided to update her Spotify playlist.  See attached link for your musical enjoyment.  She Won Best Speaker/Singer Award.  (Here is the spreadsheet of all her songs.) 

Along came evaluations....

* In a topsy-turvy turn of events through no fault of her own TM BeckyJo praised TM Pam's timeless speech, delivered with smooth transitions, easy flow and vocal variety, evoking BeckyJo's cousin who thinks she's off her rocker.
* TM The Tom admired TM Aleta's way of connecting music to her life and making great pauses from one title to another.  He Won Best Evaluator Award.

The Word of the Day was

SEGUE, verb

To proceed to what follows without pause or hesitation.

EarlyBirds is a fun way to segue into the rest of our Thursday.

See you next week!
