PLEASE BE KIND TO THE SPEAKER
> “Sure,” I said. “I’ll
be pleased to come speak to your group. I’ll bring

- Meeting News
Travel:
THE CRUISING BUG > The news slipped under the door after
Skagway. Unlike the usual colourful drift of shopping flyers,
cocktail party invitations and come-ons for art auctions,
bingo, massage therapy and shore excursions, this was a
plain message in black and white. -

LIFE ISSUES:
WHAT
HAPPENED TO HOME SWEET HOME? >
A perky young presenter beamed at me from TV the other day
and said, “Of course, we all want to make money from
our houses, don’t we?- Experience magazine
TRENDS
SEEING RED > When Wendy Petrie leaned into the
camera and “warned” TV1 viewers that they were
about to see a real, beating human heart, I laughed.- New Zealand Herald

just speared and wondering anxiously if his missus wants
