Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
In honor of our late TM Carmine, TM Randolph led us in idioms and proverbs. We soon learned that...
* TM The Tom usually bites more than he can chew and tries to make sense of it while speaking Gaelic.
* TM Veronica recalled this was one of her Dad's favorite expressions but if you enjoy something, do it often instead of once in a blue moon!
* TM Gail has counted her chickens before they hatched plenty of times and learned that it only leads to broken plans and disappointments. Life is what happens while we're busy making other plans, as John Lennon used to say...
* TM David's grandpa used to say be happy with what you have instead of wishing for what you don't - bird in hand is better than 2 birds in the bush. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Christina's Dutch ancestry makes her avoid beating around the bush and she is very direct even if it's hard on the other person, but her Canadian side softens it up.
* TM Jorge ate plenty of pasta while spending time in Rome and doing as the Romans do....
* I, Ana, mused that words are empty when not backed by loud actions....
* TM Cory thinks he will build muscle by buying books on bodybuilding and stacking them neatly on his bookshelf. Don't we all wish...
We had (2) excellent speeches...
* TM Pam described several leadership styles - coaching, innovative, authoritative (her favorite) and democratic while cajoling her youngest daughter to learn how to ride a bike in Long Key State Park. She Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Aleta inspired us with the kindness of strangers who helped her untangle the chaos produced by an Act of Nature.
Along came evaluations...
* First-time evaluator TM Christina loved TM Pam's speech and as a child growing up in a helmetless world, she related to Pam's daughter... Great job, Christina!
* TM David loved TM Aleta's phrase "Hope is never washed away" because perfect strangers become friends when disaster strikes. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
PEOPLED, verb

PEOPLED, adjective

We had a plesantly surprising visit from TM Chris and TM Jim all the way from Japan, where cities are densely peopled! Great to see you, friends!
