Meeting Summary anyone?
Brothers, I would love to read an update of this morning's gathering if one of you could post that. I just got back into town last night after being in TN for several days... was too lazy and didn't get myself out of bed this a.m....
No time to figure out how to post...so I'll just place it here.

We talked briefly about self-pity and I'll send out an excellent article explaining.
