We’ve probably all been to a meeting where a lot of words were spoken but nothing was said.
I was at a meeting where someone got in trouble for what wasn’t said…apparently a look caught on camera.
This is an ode to all of those meetings.
In case the links don’t work, or you want to hear the whole tracks instead of the clips, here is the medley:
Clip medley:
1) Talking Heads “Psycho Killer”
2) The Cookies “Don’t Say Nothin’ (Bad About My Baby)”
3) Joe Jones “You Talk Too Much”
4) The Go-Gos “Our Lips are Sealed”
6) The Beatles “Good Morning, Good Morning”
7) Delaney and Bonnie & Friends “I Don’t Want to Discuss it”
8) The Coasters “Yakety Yak”
The other day we posted a photo of a tree in the trail. Here is what now remains of said tree:
I love this stuff. I hate poor meetings.
My favorite way to redirect when the conversations are getting sour and misunderstandings abound is “What we’ve got hear is failure to communicate.” (Cool Hand Luke movie). If said with a nasty, slow, wild-west accent, people cringe a bit when spoken. It doesn’t help much but its fun. Gains respect.
Bike on, Craig
PS Food for thought for another fine medley again.

Funny you should bring that up. I posted that clip last winter: https://halffastcyclingclub.wordpress.com/2020/02/03/career-change/
Are you sure it’s respect you get when you say that? 😉
