CoT:

FNG.  Brought by Manhole.  Name is Caleb Diaddigo? Great guy who was more than up for the morning events.  Our FNG earned the name Louis Lane (kind of looks like Clark Kent). Basically he is from Atlanta, graduated from SCAD, has a masters in divinity from Dallas Seminary, works in graphic design at WSB TV, he might be vegetarian and never work in food industry.  So, with great discipline that we, as a group, held back and let the process move forward figuring if this was Chicken Hanger, then it would fall into place, but as noted above it was  just was not happening. Also, I could tell Manhole seemed to prepared to offer strong veto. So your Q tabled the great bag of names (Chicken Hanger, Brain Fart, Cousin Eddy. etc.) for another day.

WELCOME Louis Lane to the group! Manhole to add to the Slack.

Prayers:

Rum Runner closed us out with a heart felt prayer. Amen.

Until Next Time and There will be a Next Time.  – Suds

Naked Man Moleskin:

Scripture of the day: Psalm 24 (right behind Psalm 23) good stuff and reminder of His Sovereignty and the importance of faithful adherence to Him.

Beer Recommendation:  Maple Praline Wake-N-Bake, Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout.  Not too much flavor.  Sells pint size.  Dinner or Desert.  Not pool beer.

Soundtrack:  Jason Isbell tunes for the hole work out:

  • Featured songs:  High Hope Road, Cumberland Gap, Only Children, Dreamscicle, 24 Frames, Something More Than Free, Speed Trap Town, Super 8, Driver 8 (REM cover), Decoration Day, and Last of My Kind.
  • If interested in listening to more of his music, start with Live at the Ryman.  Great live album and his live music has a little more energy than the studio cuts.
