"I wound up talking to myself in German! The members who were expected, had begged off earlier, due to prior obligations. Nonetheless, I felt obligated to stick around for about an hour and a half, in case someone came in unannounced, having seen the notice on Meetup. I even gave the proprietors (Kendal and husband Andy) an impomptu German lesson in the Berlitz method. Many, many years ago, I was the Director of the Berlitz Language School in Forest Hills, Queens, NY. I sincerely hope that next month's meeting (March 8, 2:00 PM) will be better attended."
