13 men played cards at ManU this morning. The mumble chatter was strong this morning and it was good to see some brothers return after a few weeks off. Apache said it best, “never a dull moment” at ManU.

NMM

This cool fall morning netted about 1.66 miles and plenty of chatter. This morning’s conversation revolved around Apache’s capri pants – or as Schrute called them, “stone wash Jordaches.” Which obviously led to comments about Bugle Boy, Duck Head, British Knights, Pumps, and other glorious 80s fashion. The men of Rock Hill have a way with words – and apparently style. For those keeping score at home, that’s 13 manly men talking about clothing. We are a special, special group.

Some of the Pax seemed upset that we had to do math this morning. Which led to some debate on Common Core and jokes about SC education. Burgundy was in rare form doing his best Apache impression (Chatty Cathy). It was good to see the return of Aqua Lung, Fusion, and Swamp Fox (who nearly forgot his name due to a long absence). Smiley Face ran his mouth about his lowly Titans (who are going down Sunday like a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest). As always, YHC had a great time

Final Thought

James 5:16 tells us that “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” Pray for each other. Lift each other up. Our prayers make a difference.
