Choices, Life Statesperson and Fear Not - EarlyBirds extricates itself




Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

In what became known as Technology Thursday, TM Marie saved the day by figuring out the intricacies of logging in.  Thank you, TM Marie!

TM Randolph launched us like Artemis II with an inspiring invocation.

TM Jose responded 'on his feet and good to go' to the role of Table Topics.

We discovered that...

*I, Ana, would like to be both funny and smart but not the funniest or smarties in the room, all in moderation!
* TM Marie likes to count everything - welcome to the world of Obsessive-Compulsive-Order and her favorite character is Sesame Street's The Count.
* TM Becky imagined her Death Row Last Meal - a copious breakfast without sausage patties as she is watchful of her cholesterol....
* TM Randolph would like to have dinner with Oprah due to her wise remarks and with Barack Obama, due to his simplicity of  explaining his worldview.  He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Jorge prefers mountains to oceans due to their wider variety in color, smells and the majestic wildlife of great preponderance.

We had 2 motivational speeches today...

* TM David advised us to become the statespersons of our lives, to redefine success and to challenge ourselves to 1 hour this week without external stimuli and watch what happens.  He Won Most Improved Speaker Award.
* TM The Tom inspired us with a heartfelt, spiritual speech about spirituality, which touched the heartstrings of many of us.

As far as evaluations go...

* TM Randolph exalted TM David for his masterful delivery, good pauses and encouraged him to change the slide color and use more vocal variety.
* TM Jose enjoyed TM The Tom's speech greatly and suggested Tom define spirituality more clearly and incorporate the fear part more into his speech.  He Won Best Evaluator Award.

The Word of the Day was

EXTRICATE, verb
To free or remove a person or oneself from a trap or a difficult situation.

Example:  Due to sheer incompetence, I had no other recourse but to extricate myself from the role of Tech Host/SAA at today's meeting.

Here's the link to the recording:


See you next week!
