Interested in new Meetup Groups about:: This member chose not to make their Meetup membership information public.

Introduction: I like a group that has a sense of humor about itself....
Are you a talker? Listener? Icebreaker? All or noneof the above?: Good listener, so-so talker, lousy at small talk/ice breaking except for my endless supply of stories about bad things my dogs did.
What authors, books define you, make you think, make you laugh?: To Kill A Mockingbird, Ann Lamott, Dick Francis, Janet Evanovich, Christopher Isherwood, each Harry Potter / J.K. Rowling, L.M. Montgomery - you know, I'm not impressing myself, I think I need some new directions.
Describe a successful discussion.: This question reminds me of The Argument sketch from Monty Python. Or a Dilbert cartoon that defines the formula for a successful meeting as "talk a lot, don't get any new assignments." I guess, logical arguments, new viewpoints, learning things I didn't know, learning I've been wrong about things I believed, laughing until I cry.
What do you hope to get out of the club?: Who knows. I sign up for a lot of these. First goal would be to actually make it to a meeting.

“ Hi, Alison, I'm a new member of the group, also an attorney, and live and work very close to you (i'm in Rancho Santa Margarita). You can count me in for the "girlie" stuff! Was gonna attend the pot luck and movie next weekend but really don't want to be the only woman. Not that I don't like the guys, some of my best friends are . . . :-) but, ya know, after being forced to spend all week with 'em, could use a break. :-) Anyway, I look forward to meeting you, and the other ladies too. ”
