Fantastic word game

[dmargalotti]

Potatoes is the plural version of the word former Vice President Dan Quayle had trouble spelling.

[Silkie]

Spelling bee weekend follows literature weekend next weekend when we will read and dissect Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in Middle English.

 

[CTListener]

Middle English cities include Leicester, Wolverhampton, Stoke and Birmingham.

 

[WMC2006]

Birmingham has a very popular band camp location that I have not visited yet but I will be doing so in the next month or so when dmargalotti, our International Director of Band Camp (IDBC as most prefer), and I take a trip out there.

 

[scanman1]

Take a trip out there when you have time, relax and enjoy the scenery.

 

[dmargalotti]

Enjoy the scenery on your next road trip because getting there is half the fun.

 

[WMC2006]

The fun I have here everyday at TFWG makes the 13 year (and counting) commitment worthwhile and I hope all of you feel the same way.

 

[CTListener]

The same way every time can get boring.

 

[dmargalotti]

Boring stories of the old days are often shared during family reunions but every once in a while, grandma comes up with a humdinger that you've never heard before.

 

[scanman1]

A humdinger that you've never heard before could be the verbal gem that might end up being a life-changing lesson.

 

[Silkie]

A life-changing lesson or experience can change historic course and trajectory.

 

[dmargalotti]

Historic course and trajectory can often be changed by unexpected events.

 

[WMC2006]

Events tomorrow night at the new Illusions include riding the mechanical bull; dancing the night away to great 80s Rock; a trivia contest; and, a summer fashion show featuring Miss Silkie and the lovely young library interns.

Of course, Happy Weekend!

 

[scanman1]

A summer fashion show featuring Miss Silkie and the lovely young library interns showcases the best of new and vintage styles of clothing and accessories.

 

[dmargalotti]

New and vintage styles of clothing and accessories are available at the local thrift shop on the other side of town.

 

[CTListener]

The other side of town is where a boy is waiting in the lyrics to the 1970s Eagles hit "Lyin' Eyes."

 

[dmargalotti]

"Eyes" is part of the title to that song about Bette Davis by Kim Carnes.

 

[CTListener]

Kim Carnes would top the country chart as well, with "Don't Fall in Love With a Dreamer," a duet with Kenny Rogers.

 

[andreajesus]

Kenny Rogers was always one of my favorite singers - he was capable of so many things.

 

[WMC2006]

Things seem to be pretty active on a Saturday here at TFWG which is something that doesn't happen very often.

Having a great time tonight at the new Illusions. It's great to see the lovely andreajesus dancing the night away with CTListener. Join us in a few hours for breakfast at Denny's paid for as always by Kenny.
