Perimeter meaning the 6 mile patrol road inside the fence of the military installation on which I work, where some half a dozen of us comprise a pool of running “talent” and strive to show up for a noontime run a couple times a week if we can escape our desks. We share a lot and these guys are one of the core pillars of my sanity.

In thinking about Pete as Pontiff, despite his sincere religious convictions, I think he'd be a wretched choice, simply dreadful. A rubbish bin would make a more suitable Pope. You chaps will no doubt agree.

Now I'll begin dressing for lunch.

My Man Card? Oh, that was surrendered long ago.
And in honor of the occasion:
Jesus, Chuck Norris, and a Pope are stranded in the middle
of the ocean in a boat. Jesus gets out and walks on the water to shore. Chuck
Norris watches and does the same. The Pope tries and drowns. After seeing this,
Jesus turns to Chuck Norris and says, "Do you think we should have told
him about the rocks?" and Chuck Norris smiles and says, "What
rocks?"
Or this:
The Pope confesses to Chuck Norris.

Mike, first of all it's Downton Abbey, not Downtown Abbey. And it is getting rave reviews for its authenticity in 1910's and 1920's England.
Gary here: God, I miss these guys! Our perimeter runs are always just filled with laughter, in short supply these days.

Gary, tempting to throw you under the bus, but since my
sons' troop is hiking on your trail this year, I'll cut you some slack.

xxxxx [his bride] watches it, as the first two seasons are on
Netflix.
Anyone who watches Survivor or Amazing Race doesn't have
a man card to begin with. However, those
that take charge of 7,500 of their little workers who can easily sting someone
to death, now that person has a mancard!
And just for you Jack. I mailed a
birdhouse (in the shape of a church) to my mother for her birthday. It involved using woodworking tools and
equipment, and will house some fluffy little bird family.
I've got building plans for butterfly houses if you're
interested?
Boy Scouts - check; bees - check; woodworking - check;
butterflies - check; ragging on worthless reality television shows - check; new
topic, British shows - check.
