A first at The Skinny

“What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” – Oscar Wilde

YHC has never been to The Skinny, and I’ve always wondered how it was compared to Rock City….I mean, we throw rocks around!  The Skinny does hold its own, and glad to get my first Q here.

15 men gathered for a Monday beatdown in the gloom to get rid of the pain from the Saints game yesterday.  Football is truly a game of inches:

So close!  Anyway, here is what we did, but first…
