The meeting was an Open Forum to discuss future direction and projects
Chair Stephen did a reasonable job of keeping the rabble under control, but he did make a basic mistake in introducing himself as "El Presindito" and may have accidentally dobbed himself in as the next President Elect

We all could use more calm in our lives.
By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started.
So I looked around my house to see things I started and hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Cardonay, a bole of Baileys, a butle of Kehuha, a pockage of Tim Toms, tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins, the res of the Chesescke, some saltins an a bax a cholates.
