At least we have an even number now, amiryte? Moving on.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The Man in the Arena: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
MOLESKIN:
Great Mumblechatter this morning. Excellent to have the New Orleans Nantan (Reluctant Yankee) with us. Thanks to Sonic for being YHC’s ram in the bush during bearcrawls. YHC loves even numbers. Tclaps to Tree Hugger for joining the prestigious ranks of those in Club 345! Coffeeteeria was enjoyed at CFA afterward.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
huh uh.
