PROBUS CLUB OF CLARINGTON www.probusclarington.com President’s Message for February It seems that many of our members have been heading off to warmer climes and unfortunately that has not been an op2on for my family. However, I decided I should jot down my travel plans for the rest of 2018. 1. I have been in many places but never been to Cahoots. Apparently, you can’t go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. 2. I’ve also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. 3. I have, however, been in Sane. They don’t have an airport, you have to be driven there. I have indeed made several trips there thanks to my children, friends, family and work. 4. I would like to go to Conclusions but you have to jump and I’m not too much into physical ac2vity anymore. 5. I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go and I try not to visit there too oYen. 6. I’ve been in Flexible but only when it was important to stand firm. 7. Some2mes I’m in Capable and I go there more oYen as I’m ge\ng older. 8. One of my favourite places to be is in Suspense. It really gets the adrenaline flowing and pumps up the old heart. At my age I need all the s2muli I can get. 9. I may have been in Con2nent but I don’t remember what country that was in. It’s an age thing and they tell me it is very wet and damp there. Maybe I will see some of you at some of these places!!!! Wishing you a “hearty" and happy Valen2ne’s Day Victoria Girling
