What’s the Ladder with you? – from Russo

Not-quite-as-cold-as-it-has-been 45 degrees this morning, slight drizzle that Steve lamented was relenting. 4 HIM tackled the ladders Granny set up this morning.

Things we learned this morning: Rummel has/had some fantastic lunch options, none better than daily square pizza and bi-weekly chicken parm on Thursdays. Raider Pride! This statement was confirmed by all 2 Raiders present, and before Pik could disagree and let the Metairie scum know how much better Jesuit fare is. There were no Crusaders, Cavaliers, Purple Knights, Eagles, or Tigers present to object, so by unanimous consent, Rummel is the undisputed king of lunchtime for the old school Catholic league. Print the shirts!

Certain rounds got a bonus mosey between them to break up the monotony and give us a chance to mumblechatter.

After ladders, Pax climbed up the pilot house, 2 calf raises each step.

COT, name-o-rama, announcements, and prayer closed us out.

Reminders included RCR, Krazy Ivan 2/3 @8, and sign up to Q!

Another superstar group this morning, thanks for letting me lead.
