At 415am this morning, our own Cornholio and his M welcomed an 8lb sweet baby Cornholita into the world! Additionally, the loveable and no less adorable Johnny Utah entered the world some 26 years ago today. So this week’s edition of True Grit launched with great revelry and rejoicing!
Then it was time to slice and serve the cake. Here’s the spread from the party platter.

Moleskin:
When YHC sought to set a rhythmic, steady cadence for the PAX right from the start, White Shoe generated #mumblechatter along the lines of, “The good Friar’s got his inner metronome going. Listen to that 4/4 time. He’s like daggum John Bohnam out there laying down the beat…Yo-Yo, John Bohnam was a drummer for a band in the 70s called Led Zeppelin.” To which Yo-Yo queried without missing a beat, “Was that some kind of jazz ensemble or something?”
Finishing up, YHC recounted Jesus’ story of the son who leaves his father, goes off and spends his entire inheritance and makes an absolute wreck of his life. But rather than berate his son and come down on him with condemnation for being a complete screw-up, the Father waits at the end of the driveway and throws a party when his son returns home. He celebrates.
In F3, we celebrate Cornholio’s new baby. We celebrate Johnny Utah on his birthday because he’s awesome. But we celebrate EVERY man who comes. Because God our Father loves every man who comes. So we do too.
And that same love compels us to love our wives, our kids and the people around us. Aye.
Ball of Man, and Officer Hightower prayed us out. A good day in the gloom.
