anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>I hate to reveal personal secrets\u2026but my usual custom is to check out the room for the photo opportunities. \u00a0At my minuscule stage of proficiency, I need every advantage I can get. \u00a0We had been in the room before so it wasn\u2019t a big deal\u2026or so I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Well, as Lee Corso would say, \u201cnot so fast my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Club\u2019s Art Gallery had been relocated to the room and it seems the theme of the exhibit was \u201cNo Clothes.\u201d \u00a0Here\u2019s the look right behind the podium and mic.<\/p>\n<figure

room&#8230;constantly. \u00a0I felt bad, but at one point I had to \u201creposition\u201d Greg Estell right in the middle of his comments. \u00a0Here\u2019s the <a
