Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Marie led us in practicing Transitions -to avoid non sequiturs- in Table Topics...
* TM BeckyJo grew up in Hawaii amidst the remnants of bunkers from Pearl Harbor days...
* TM Jose will soon inaugurate a Memorial Day Spanish style - lots of jamon and vino vino vino. Red red wine.... (sung to the tune of Red Red Wine)...
* TM Randolph is (graciously) struggling to let his father-in-law take over the grill and grilling implements during this coming Memorial Day...
* TM Jorge reminisced about visiting the Normandy beaches where it all happened and shudders to think what the alternative would have been....
* TM Veronica always loved summers as a kid growing up in Florida and it brings back those endless summer vacations of yore...
* TM Christina commemorates Memorial Day with a mixture of happiness for the time off and sadness for the somber aspect of those who fell while on duty. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
Along came two magnificent prepared speeches...
* TM Christina regaled us with a tale of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, a lesson on seeing life with our hearts instead of our minds.
* TM Veronica had a transitional moment in Lake Tikal, Guatemala, when a supposedly trivial conversation became a pivotal moment in her next life cycle. She Won Most Improved Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Jose will buy and re-read The Litte Prince which taught him important life lessons in his youth and suggested TM Christina shut the blinds to avoid stripes of light on her face. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM BeckyJo is perfecting The Art of Evaluating While Driving and commended TM Veronica for mastering reading notes without even looking at them.
The Word of the Day was
CONFABULATION, noun
An unintentional memory error without intent to deceive.
Example: Confabulation is also known as "honest lying." Ahem....
Here's the link to the recording...
Thank you to everyone who stepped up at the last minute to multitask.
See you next week,
Ana I.
