“Now you must free yourself from sloth,” my master said, “for sitting down or lying under covers, no one comes to fame, without which whoever consumes his life leaves such vestige of himself on earth as smoke in air or foam on water. Therefore get up, overcome your panting with the spirit which wins every battle if it does not sink with its heavy body…” Dante’s Divine Comedy, CANTO XXIV – Vanni Fucci, 46-54 A stunning 15 bodacious beauties assembled on The Forge stage as this year’s Homecoming Court nominees. Many judges gave favorable nods towards young DTH, who’s recent…

Thank You!

By Vinny on June 3, 2020

My brothers, just over two years ago, I, like many of you, was looking to find that something that was missing in my life. I maintain that I was not a Sad Clown, but by no means was I fulfilled. That all changed when by happenstance, I met a guy named Patton Gleason (no chance his junior year HS picture was ever displayed in a mall near the Food Court with a name like that). As google would indicate, he was a TED Talk giving, Style Weekly 40 Under 40 winning, dark jeans wearin’, random 80s baseball knownin’, energy machine…

Gayton Goliaths

By Gomer Pyle on June 3, 2020

When: 05/29/20
QIC: Gomer Pyle
The PAX: Greenbow, Handshake, Probation, Gomer Pyle

4 Goliaths gathered for a gallop to Gayton ES on a great morning. NMS The actual 5 mile route was a little more sporting: Instead of going to Gayton, YHC decided to recon for a spider trail to get to Church Rd from Laclede or over to Copperas – we ended up back on Ridgefield for a 5.5 total route. Bodo’s would have liked the suspense and drama and this is a reminder that he should come out. The only wildlife to report is one bunny and 2 deer.

“Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrance’s have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation? There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. The war is actually begun!…

Three First Watch newbies and two veterans hit the mean streets of River Road this morning in the very early gloom.
