Bernie was back! What a joy to see you, my friend. Cut his hair, too. He is going to be the new Pres. of the District E-club. That should be interesting - Bernie will be good at pushing the envelope (fellowship via a modem).
Francie ran the meeting in Bill's vacationing absence. A cruise I'm told. She tried to tie a theme into a teaching moment, but I fear her elementary school experience led her way over the heads of the audience. Don't give up, Francie, just remember what you're working with here. (Me, Novotny, etc). Great opening Valentines game which rewarding knowing spouses names, etc.
The annual basketball game "tailgate" is Saturday, Feb. 12. Ken Cox said 10 are going so far, meeting at The Hofbrau House at 2:30 with a 5:00 pm game time against San Diego State, one of the top teams in the country. Not too late to get tickets, call Ken if you want to go. This is always one of our funnest events, even if the Rebels lose.
Tom Novotny mentioned that, to show the effects of the economy, Paris Hilton was on his Southwest flight back from LA Sunday. He did not know if she had a court date, or found a new casino which had not banned her yet. Tom obviously did not develop a close relationship - hey, its only an hour flight and he's not moving as fast as in his youth. She was wearing a warm up suit and big sunglasses, probably glad to be out of the gutter but ashamed to be on Southwest.
Brett Announced that not only did we have an almost full Super Bowl board, which puts about $ 1,000 into the charity account. He also runs his own board at the radio station (KSHP-AM) for the club and turned over $ 900. Wow! Now that Brett's back we are going to fund more and more school projects in the future.
The speaker was Wayne Walker, a certified Hypnotherapist. Wayne was born in Dallas and raised on his Dad's cutting horse ranch. He is a multiple black belt, and was the youngest hand to hand combat teacher in the history of the Army Special Forces Ranger School. They are very tough hombres. He led us through several group mind relaxation excercises. According to Wayne we all experience hypnosis via day dreaming (just call me Walter Mitty). When asked the percentage of successful hypnosis treatments to stop smoking, it is 100...if the subject really wants to stop. The same with nail biting, so I signed up. I will be the guinea pig here, and will report later on the effectiveness to stop a 50 year-long bad habit. I have more, but do not want to fess up in public.
Another entertaining speaker, Chris, thank you!
