Dear Members, Guests, and Friends,
TM Christina led us with fun, travel-related Table Topics...
* TM The Tom's most memorable meal was a Chicago hot dog eaten at Wrigley Field during a game of the Chicago Cubs. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Jorge rode a bus from Bogota to Medellin, wondering for 7 hours if he was going to be taken hostage by the FARC guerrilla. Thankfully he wasn't!
* TM BeckyJo nearly got ripped off by a cabdriver in flooded Prague who used subterfuge to overcharge her.
* I, Ana, would go back to French Polynesia, island of Taha'a, to the bungalow on stilts with a natural fish tank on the floor- if I got a free airline ticket. Maybe.
* TM Aleta is drawn to a country, Cuba, where natural beauty is abundant and people are nice but they live in abject poverty.
* TM Marie stated that wonders of the world are those right in front of our very eyes in that precise moment.
* TM Randolph's first impression of Tokyo, Japan, is that the Asian community puts up a great production!
As far as prepared speeches go...
* I, Ana, told the evolution of humans drinking Elsie The Cow's milk while trying to comb down our pesky cowlicks. In a very contested vote, I Won Most Improved Speaker Award.
* TM Aleta alerted us that Shopping Carts of the World Will Unite! (Especially on the eve of May 1, Labor Day for the rest of the world).
And then came evaluations...
* TM The Tom enjoyed the history of milk and is perplexed by the multiple choices between almond, coconut, soy, oat, rice, hemp, cow, goat, buffalo, lactose-free, organic, whole, 2%, 1%, skim, raw... All in a day's work....
* TM Marie praised TM Aleta for her excellent hand gestures, vocal variety and for making us realize that shopping carts have bodies and souls. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
SUBTERFUGE, noun
