Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Aleta walked us down the Red Carpet of Tinseltown….
- DTM Jim D. thinks most Hollywood award winners belong in the 12-Step program of those who can’t stop talking – called On and On and On. Use that mute button, somebody, please!!
- TM Pam revealed that she had a risqué grandmother who had a torrid affair with debonair, hunky, stud of studs Charlie Chaplin…. And his mustache! Oh if we only told our descendants half of what we did while in our prime! She Won Best Table Topics Award.
- I, Ana, would like to star in a biography titled My Life As A Katherine Hepburn Wannabe, and my wardrobe would consist of pantsuits, while my props would be married Catholic men.
- TM Jose prefers to take long walks but ‘fessed up to watching -at times- gruesome miniseries about current events – they are more accurate than the actual news! He reminisced about the good old days of movie censorship under Generalissimo Franco -who is still dead- when kiss scenes were obliterated and no one in the country understood any movie plots.
- TM Paolo agrees with General Patton, who thought the Oscars are a 2-hour meat market anyway, and who refused to rise from his grave to accept the award for his no-show portrayer, George C. Scott.
- TM Carmine’s favorite child actor is Dopey, but his all-time favorite is the cartoon character Carmine who marvels at how people live vicariously through other people’s dopey lives.
Today we had extraordinary prepared speeches….
- TM Lorena spoke about valuing others and not treating them as invisible beings, much like adults did with us when we were children. Gossiping behind their back is a socially acceptable practice in HOA circles.
- TM Jim G. regaled us with a whirlwind tour of his job history which was quite remarkable for someone who doesn’t even like to work. He’s simply a Jim Of All Trades, Master of Computers.
- TM Marie outdid herself as a Level 5 Visionary Communicator all right, full of props, metamorphosing in plain view and nearly blowing up the learning lab with a candle blowing in the wind. She was last spotted at the grocery store buying a case of pineapples to ship out to her fans. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go….
- TM Jeff praised TM Lorena for the quality of her speech, which included a moral of the story, although he would have preferred that she flat out sue the Board of her HOA for cruel and unnecessary shortsightedness and be done with it.
- TM Aleta -like the rest of us- appreciates the fact that his career in a multitude of polifacetic jobs in Joisy -including saxtuba player in a marching band- landed him in his true calling – EarlyBird TM trusted tech guru and lasting friend.
- TM Joe -also like the rest of us- was awed by TM Marie’s trajectory down 5 levels of Pathways as a Visionary Communicator, which transformed her into a powerful speaker and propmeister– all while under the influence of rose wine, indigestion from eating too much pineapple and hot wax burns from lit candles. She Won Best Speaker Award.
The Word of the Day was
FOCUS, noun
In geometrical optics, a focus, also called an image point, is a point where light rays originating from a point on the object converge. Although the focus is conceptually a point, physically the focus has a spatial extent, called the blur circle.
For the rest of us non-geometrical opticians, it means “get with the program”.
Ex.: Seances are also called hocus-focus.
