Moleskin:
- 22 pax was the largest group in a while (1 shy of the Columbia record). Kotters to Stegman, Boss Hogg, Luke, Checker coming back from injury/illness/extended absence. Sorry if I missed someone.
- Kotters also to Tugger who’s back after his 3-week-on rotation on the tug boat.
- Large contingent also at the Thicket for the second F.
- Dredd coming January 19th – large crown anticipated.
- “Dabo” added to the lexicon: “a random, exuberant cry intended to rally the faithful, like a cheerleader.”
- Contact has been made with the Dreher High School administration regarding a service project and the erection of a pull-up bar station in the AO.
- This was the first time we tried strings of fire (or at least a variation). With the big field closed, we did the best we could in the space available.
Prayer request: Please help us with thoughts and prayers for Roscoe and his family. Roscoe’s nephew Rikard Best, 21, has been battling a rare liver cancer for two years and this week received news of a setback.
Aye Brother. @OBT and I will be pointing the #Minivan #SouthOfBallantyne in two weeks. I’ll be bringing the heat Brother, so you don’t have to make any more comments about the size of my head to get me motivated. It is, however, rather (ahem) large. #DefenseOfTruth
We shall have cantaloupe and other large melons.
