Don Does It Again!
_____________________________________________________________________
Sixty-two hungry persons were regaled at Sunday breakfast on October 14. Such a
goodly crowd demonstrated the popularity of these events.
The menu consisted of French Toast, Pancakes, and Sausage augmented by Fruit
and Orange Juice plus all the coffee you could drink, ably served by our ever-vigilant
waiters. No one went home hungry since extra pancakes were placed upon your plate
without your even having to ask.
We noticed quite a few new faces among the usual crew; a welcome sign and we are
encouraged by their willingness to pitch in. We can’t always rely on the same persons to
keep on doing it over and over again.
We thank Don Horrigan and is tireless committee for providing us with his cheerful
way to join with our neighbors on a Sunday morning.
And now we have another surprise for you. Sharon and Nile Hochstetler are chairing
another Sunday breakfast on November 4. The menu sounds new and exciting – a
crescent roll wrapped around a sausage, potato casserole, and tomatoes. That’s enough
to satisfy the heartiest appetite! There will also be fresh fruit, coffee or tea.
Your Block Captain can supply you with tickets, which will cost $3. for members
and $4. for non. Bring your own place setting and enjoy! We start serving at 9:00 a.m.
See you there!
A Lesson In Creativity From Mr. John Cleese
___________________________________________________
John Cleese, the star of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Fawlty
Towers, and dozens of other comedy classics, knows something
about being funny, and about being creative.
He once told an audience at the Cannes International Festival
of Creativity about the time he lost a script that he and Python
co-star Graham Chapman had written together. Cleese had to
quickly recreate it, and the resulting piece of writing turned
out to be actually better than the original.
“The only thing I could think,” he told his listeners, “was
that my unconscious had been working on the sketch and improving it ever since I wrote
it. I began to see a lot of my best work seemed to come as a result of my unconscious
working on things when I wasn’t really attending to them.”
Sometimes leaving a project along for a while can help you produce excellence.
