“Wicked Costumes” Meeting Recap – 10/28/2009
Today our session was bewitched with Amy at the helm. I know she did not introduce her outfit as such, but it was reminiscent of the Wicked Musical color scheme. To illustrate how easy it is to mix and match costumes, Amy went through a demonstration of key costume changes. Alas, there were no costume [...]

“Old People” Meeting Recap – 10/21/2009
Corky cast aside his young at heart persona to take on the topic of “old people.” It is a stretch, of course, but he came prepared. Becky, Li, and Neil left their walkers to take on the Table Topics. Taline breathed an audible sigh of relief to not be called upon. Robbie gave his ice [...]

“Hook-Up” Meeting Recap – 10/14/2009

“Antique Roadshow” Meeting Recap 09/02/2009
The theme for this meeting was an “Antique Roadshow.” Albert deftly guided the meeting in our nostalgic discussion of antiques and appreciation of things not-quite-new. Because there were only two scheduled speeches, Robert prepared a longer Table Topics session, with John, Lee, Li, Brian, Wendy and Susana today’s victims. They all did a fantastic job [...]

“Footballs and the Sticky Wicket” Meeting Recap 08/26/2009
Go, Team Go! Our Cheerleader-in-Charge, Maria, grabbed her pompoms and led the meeting today. Amy (another natural cheerleader) took us through the Table Topics. I do have to say that these were championship worthy Table Topic Questions – of the quantum pompom variety … especially the one that Taline answered and answered and answered, allegedly. [...]
