Being famous, Parenting and Self-Talk - no imbroglios in EarlyBirds today!





Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

TM BeckyJo, aka La Presidenta, improvised a childhood poem as an Invocation.

TM David improvised Table Topics, courtesy of AI...

* I, Ana, am already a legend in my own mind... among my family members, and would probably be a world=famous writer if it were in the cards.
* TM Veronica's imaginary paparazzi would only see her wearing yoga pants going to the UPS return store if they were to stalk her...
* TM BeckyJo's tabloid scandal headline would be "Starlet Kills Business Partner" - this dastardly thought has crossed her mind many a time.
* TM Gail would blow fragranced airplane passengers on an 11-hour flight out of their fragrance... and out of the plane, too!
* TM Marie's tv reality show would proclaim that AI is here to stay and we need to use it, much as TM David did today!
* TM Randolph's AI assistant, Athena, secretly complains that Randolph does not speak to her quite enough.  He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Jorge surmised that the biggest possible imbroglio between a human baby and an infant AI baby is that the AI baby knows everything...
* TM Jose's Chat GPT would roast him for being a perfectionist but a cheap one at that that - he digs deeper into it until it's time to pay up!

And along came prepared speeches...

* TM Randolph described how different of a Dad he was to his firstborn - a quasi avatar - and to his lastborn - the family talker- since the adults create the narrative.
* TM Marie encouraged us to stop our limiting self-talk, since we are capable of anything and failure is only a huge part of learning.  She Won Most Improved Speaker Award.

Regarding the evaluations...

* TM Jorge loved TM Randolph's humor sprinkled throughout his speech and encouraged him to give it more structure, a strong start and end.
* TM Gail praised TM Marie's uplifting and inspiring speech, great eye contact, positive hand gestures and good command of notes.  She Won Best Evaluator Award.
