Good Morning Digital Neighbors! I am sure I will post something later this morning from the Book of Endangered Phrases, but for now a Coffee Talk invitation is enough. I hope you can join myself and the ADD Irregulars for caffeinated beverages and interesting conversations. There are no set topics and the randomness just seems to flow.
If you are a more reserved person feel free to sit in on a session and listen with your camera off to the Reoccurring Irregulars. Camera shy people are more than welcome, some never use it. It is an expectation free zone, just don't be a jerk! 😁 Some just visit once or twice, others become a new Irregular or a Speakeasy Patron if you are among the later crowd. Coffee Talk happens Monday through Friday mornings and the Speakeasy opens on Tuesday, Friday & Sunday in the afternoon. (All in Central time, but Zoom adjusts for your time zone I believe.) 🤔
Our reoccurring motto: Always invited, never expected!

Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).
Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV. Widely recognized as one of the greatest French writers, and even hyperbolically referred to by ...
Happy National Best Friends Day Y'all!
I strongly suggest combining celebrations for this with National Name Your Poison Day and National Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day. Think I'll have to wash a custard doughnut down with a cold beer later.
