Dying ain’t much of a living

There was a steady, light mist that was more annoying than anything else. With Johnny Cash playing as everyone pulled into NaFo, the chatter began and it never, ever stopped. YHC was fine with it since it was my first Q in many moons, and I exceeded my own expectations by remembering how to call in cadence.

I will fail miserably trying to recount all of the stories that were told, but perhaps I could list some of the many subjects:
Johnny Cash & June Carter
King Soloman
Taylor Swift
Jezebel
White Snake
Nate Bergatze
Clint Eastwood, his movies and his quotes
The 6th Sense
The comedic relief was welcomed with the steady light mist beating down on us. And we still got our work in.
