Greetings Fellow Toastmasters,

Revathy Sukamaran was our amazing toastmaster with an awesome theme on
movies.  There were 13 members and one guest.  Word of the day was Profound
meaning extreme.  Katelynn's punchline to her joke was "I'm a huge metal
fan".

Speaker #1.  Thomas Roerick.  Apply feedback from his first speech on
intermittent fasting.  16 hour fast, 8 hours of eating.  Food to glycogen
to fat to stored energy.  When we fast, the body goes into ketosis.
Ketosis is a benefit because it helps with appetite suppression and weight
loss.  Thomas ended his speech with Thank you for listening to my rant.

Speaker #2.  Jeff Stoll.  That's Debatable or is it?  How many are
searching for the truth?  Debate a dangerous point in our culture.  Debate
process eroded.  A debate that supports one side is BORING.  God of
christianity.  Question all things.  Truth says bring it on.

Table Topics was our wonderful Bill Farrand.
A few notables

1.  Jonathan Kolber.  Political or cultural issues with movies.  Recommend
seeing the movie district 9.  Looking for a new home.  Not invited to earth
with respect.  They look like bugs.  Favorite food is cat food.

2.  Robin McIntosh.  Less well known movie that deserved a wider
audience.  Big Chill.  Main character dies and you never see him.  Good
path - bad person.  Bad person - good path.

3.  Jennifer Dunne.  Movie that should have gotten "best picture".  Jackie
Chan films.  Profound message about belonging.  Fighting sequences.

General Evaluator was our outstanding Luis Estrada

1.  Jennifer Dunne evaluating Thomas.  Added names.  Punchy.  Defined
terms.  Explained different styles of fasting.  Closing same but meant
more.  Great applying feedback.  Language stilted.

2.  Alan Wong evaluating Jeff.  Objective was to stay on time and sadly
Jeff went over 17 seconds.  Great intro with a question.  Challenge to not
use notes and internalize speech.  Great topic on debate and the audience
was engaged.  Excellent conclusion.

Best Table Topics:  Jennifer Dunne
Best Evaluator:  Alan Wong
Best Speech:  Thomas Roerick.

Congratulations to all the winners.  Revathy's theme on movies was very
nice.  (we all love movies).  It was another fun meeting with everyone
participating and engaged.  Jennifer Dunne ended her evaluation with "good
on you" to Thomas.  I heard "good onions".  I wondered to myself, why would
Jennifer say good onions?  Is it slang for a job well done?  After my
evaluation on Jeff, Jennifer on chat wrote to me "good on you".  I
responded with "you mean being too honest with Jeff?  At least he's not
going to meet me in the parking lot and beat me up".  And that's when
Jennifer said, NO, I said good on you, not good onions.

The other day I brought home a bag of dirt.  My wife said, what is that?
I said, you asked for dirt.  She says NO, I asked for dessert.  What does
it mean if I'm listening and I don't hear what is being said?  What if we
hear and we don't interpret correctly.  Is toastmaster not suppose to help
us with this?  Apparently not for me sometimes.  There's a lot more to just
listening.  Have a wonderful evening and Good Onions.
Until next time, I am your humble secretary.
Alan Wong
