SEPTEMBER MEETING NOTES (iinnnnn November)

Hey Spirits,

Anyone seen Moana yet?? Great movie! It's the newest Disney/Pixar movie and we really enjoyed it. In fact here's a brief refrain that can be sang or sung in the melody of Maui's song called "You're Welcome" It's sort of a way to apologize for not posting in so long. Hopefully, these lyrics can fit in with the melody of the chorus portion of the song. Give it a try, or disavow knowledge of me altogether....

Hey, don't agonize or chastise my devotion
I've just been inert or asleep in the rack.

I know this implies I despise locomotion
But at least I can strive to be slack!

So I know I need to say that I'm sorry
I seem to set my goals too high

It's safe to say I won't get my Ferrari
I'm just a mediocre, fairish guy!

So okay, I'm trying to say that I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Well it took me a long time to try to make that rhyme, so I think the actual blog post won't come tonight. I might have to make a whole new song for that too!!!

I just finished THE CHRISTMAS TRAIN btw, and I'm halfway through CATCH-22, so I'll be good to go for next meeting.

GOOD ARTICLE

Hey Spirits,

I came across this Wall Street Journal article about reading. I enjoyed it, and it is pretty positive and encouraging so I thought I'd pass it along if you all would like to read it....

The Need to Read

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Hey Spirits

We have a new record to set.....

42 years

A man who checked out William Shirer’s “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” in April 1974 from the Guilderland Library returned the book last Tuesday. The late fee for such a wait would be $3,106.20, but a man such as this presumably knows to live a life on the run, dodging the law and other library enforcement authorities, and presumably set up the book drop up so they’d be sipping a cocktail on a brach in Zihuatanejo, Mexico by the time anyone was all the wiser to his escape from New York.
