Monday's meeting was held in a different room at the Summit. A little cozy, but we are nothing if not adaptable. It is the Sergeant at Arm's duty to make those kind of arrangements. Someone accused Sergeant at Arms Gary Fletcher of deliberately choosing a small room in order to use forced perspective to make himself look taller. Didn't work.
Our speaker on Monday was Isidro Munos. (First, let me apologize to Isidro. As you know, I normally would include a picture of our speaker with this article. Unfortunately, Isidro's picture did not turn out. A new low in photography, even for me.) Isidro is a friend of Mark Rank's, having worked for him for about 10 years. Mark called him one of the best employees he has ever had. Isidro now is a proud small business owner in his own right. He also came to this country illegally.

I came across the following love sonnet by William Shakespeare a while back.
Sonnet 130: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks,
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know,
That music hath a far more pleasing sound.
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
William Shakespeare
Now that you have read this, I have a couple of questions. First to the women-what would you do if you received this from you true love? Second to the men-if you gave your true love something like this, how long did you spend in the hospital?
Last week's question:On Monday, Sergeant at Arms PP Gary Fletcher uttered the famous words, "Hey, let's be careful out there." This is a line used in numerous episodes of what TV show? (Bonus points if you can name the actor who originated the line and his character name.) Answer: Sgt. Phil Esterhaus, played by the late Michael Conrad.
This week's question: This week, President Paul lamented the lack of certified public accountants in the club. In the movie Midnight Run, Jonathan "The Duke" Mardukas, an accountant for the Mob gets nabbed by bounty hunter Jack Walsh. To collect the $100,000 bounty on the Duke's head, Walsh needs to get him from New York to LA, but the Mafia and the FBI are both on their tails. Maybe "The Duke" is looking for a Rotary Club. Name the actors who played the Duke and Walsh. Answer next week.
