Those of you who are regular readers of these pages (there used to be two but my mother passed away two years ago) just KNOW that there is a LOT left unsaid below, but decorum dictates that!! -Editor

YOU SHOUDDA BEEN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

As one responsible for the program for the day it is difficult to follow up a program that included a room full of greyhounds. And of course the full effect of that program was lost on Terry Witcher, the program provider, as he was not there. He probably would have preferred to have reversed meeting attendances, if there is such a word, but I digress.

There is no way to adequately describe the program today. It was unique beyond belief. It was informative, and some of the information (shall I say techniques??) may possibly have been put into practice this evening. Or, in some cases, some of the techniques to avoid have been avoided, shall we say. Also there was a portion of the program describing how to avoid certain STD that had Ken Greenwood scratching his head until he had a rash! And we did note some members taking notes on how to inhale certain drugs from one's fingernail to avoid disease transmittal, but that was purely for educational purposes.

And the BEST part was there were handouts!!! While the editor did not have a chance to see them all, it was noted that there were some colored balloons handed out that looked really neat! Of course some of the members were looking for LARGER balloons, but that is a purely male thing as none of the female members asked for larger ones - but I think I heard one member wish she could! And it sounded like Gerry said they looked like yarmulkes for hamsters.

More next week!!
