Tonight’s meeting was meant to be informal and it was different. The usual routines were not followed, but one refrain was familiar. “Veronica, you’re a little late,” announced our club clock watcher. Politely, President Veronica officially called the meeting to order at 7:03 and the social conversations ended.
The evening’s unusual version of O Canada was performed by a Las Vegas lounge singer who had no musical accompaniment and was unsure of the melody. That made it difficult for those of us at home to sing along (that’s our story and we’re sticking to it). Leon continues to impress us with the variety he brings each week to our national anthem.
We shared our COVID Christmas plans and took turns sharing stories from our Christmases past. Dr. John gave some advice about the vaccines available and recommended that we take vitamin D in large doses. He also recommended pumping iron but that sounds like work.
We wished each other Merry Christmas and signed off for the year.
