1) the word of the day was CADENCE! and the guest got to that idea because the theme was unplugged and she thought of music and that reminded her of horses and a dressage horse she used to love to watch called CADENCE. and, i forgot to tell her about this magical thing called a Kur, as well as forgetting to USE the word of the day.

2) it ain't easy to evaluate the prez, and he scowled at the suggestion i gave him for next time, so i am EXTRA proud of me. he kept repeating "you can't believe everything you read" and storytelling about his irish youth and so in my evalutation i said that i grew up hearing my father say that and how ha ha "i never knew he was so annoying because he is irish" which got a good laugh.

3) the next speaker really moved me with the arson and car bomb descriptions of north ireland in his youth. "a lifetime of treasures in the rubble"
