THE REVIEW

THE LEGEND


Thursday’s meeting was so much fun. Michael has his car back on the road, so he attended and brought his 15-month old son, Legend. He is such a cutie, but was a little apprehensive of strangers and stuck very close to his Daddy.

Bob read first about a family-run jewellery manufacturing business I’m not going to name because Bob said the only gossip he could come up with about them was that the grandson was an a--. And he couldn’t put that into his accounting of their business to liven it up.

Michael brought a short story collection which included one of his stories. The book was put together by friends of Jay, who was battling cancer. Michael’s story was “Off-Season at Jay Lake”, where the narrator is observing strange insects and creatures at Jay Lake. But when Michael started reading, Legend started competing with his own story-telling in a language we didn’t understand. The louder Michael talked, the louder Legend talked. Michael handed the story to me to finish reading, but that didn’t stop Legend. He is definitely going to upstage all of us. He’s already a storyteller.

Margaret read about Marigold enjoying dinner with Jasper at the hotel after the play. Even though he’s almost 50, Jasper is now contemplating marriage in order to inherit from his Uncle. He invites Marigold to his 50th birthday party at his Aunt and Uncle’s. In the meantime, Marie has contacted Percy Teasdale, a relative of Rev. Peabody, and he asks her to go to the party with him.

Marilyn wrote a story on Mario’s ongoing life saga which she read to family and friends when they were recently celebrating Mario’s 75h birthday. Hope she comes sometime to a meeting and reads it to us.

Margaret had been looking for a box for her manuscript, and I picked one up for her at Packaging Depot (on 200th by Logan) for $1.67. If anybody needs one, that’s where to look. And Margaret has a Laser cartridge free for the asking. It is compatible with Samsung ML-4500. Also, this is the week to re-stock your home office. Just about everything is on sale for students right now, so load up on paper, pens, notebooks, dictionaries, etc. And then write, write, write!

Next meeting is here at my place on Thursday, September 4th at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you then.
