Just checking in
Just checking in to say hello! I came down with flu like symptons about 5 days ago. Its pretty nasty, the worst one I have ever had. Today, for the first time, it showed signs of abating. By the way, I do not subscribe to the doctrine that all illness is PTS related.
Anyone have any thoughts on that subject?
Last Thursday I was invited to, of all things, a Kiwanis Club anniversary luncheon meeting. I attended along with Candy and Edey. A major city Mayor and Councilman were present and we got a chance to "rub elbows" with some big shots. I knew nothing about the Kiwanis Club except that they usually have a float in the Rose Bowl parade on New Years' day.
They are about traditional old fashioned American type of values...its sort of like the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts for adults. It was like revisiting the society in which I grew up in during the 1940's and 1950's, i.e. baseball, apple pie, Norman Rockwell's view of America, etc.. Most of the people who attended were very friendly and "down to Earth" (meaning being themselves without a lot of pretenses).
Friday was busy, a Japanese Buffet Brunch in Newport Beach put on by Kangen Water starting at 9:30 AM then back to my condo by 2:30 to show my new place to my friend Ken Rothschild, whom I have known since Jr. High School (1953) then to Laguna Niguel's Mimi's Cafe for a birthday to honor one of my newer friends.
After the birthday party ended, Candy and Lorinda, who I attended with both wanted to go to a bar to listen to music and do some dancing. We were all driving together so I had to tag along. By that time, I had heavy congestion in my chest and was already feellng pretty sick. I hope I did not spread the sickness around. So far so good, no one who was at the events with me has come down with it yet. I rested almost all of Saturday, all of Sunday and most of today.
Candy is putting on the first seminar on Feb 5th on the Axioms but she is going to discuss her 3 favorite axioms instead of Axioms 1 to 10. We have about 12 to 14 people confirmed for the event. Candy is calling herself the Facilitator. She will lead the discussion but we are encouraging a lot of dialogue and interaction. We are hoping that it will be sort of like a live version of an ESMB discussion thread. We are letting it run 3 hours with 1/2 hour for a coffee, tea and "nosh" break to socialize and exchange contact info.
I hope to be the Facilitator for a seminar on "The Factors". Needless to say, Johnny has a lot of areas he wants to facilitate as does Candy. The crowd is formed mainly from ex Scios, Freezoners and Independent Field people although there likely will be some new people there as well.
We are hoping that these events will become a third dynamic activity which will occur on a regular basis.
