This week, Dale has a men's night, we have letter from a listener, and we get a bit more into the weeds on "soul crushing" sexual exploitation and God's model of Fatherhood.

This week, we are talking about a mystery St. Francis, and our new shed and bike-hanging solution.  Then, we briefly talk about the below-linked-to reflection by French Author, and Venerable, Madeleine Delbrel, which is a very short read, and is quite wonderful.

A Quiet Place Part II Spoilers End at 28:00!

This week, we're recovering from the first post-COVID birthday party in nearly two years, then we do another spoiler-riddled Small Talk about A Quiet Place Part II.  Then, we continue our conversation from last week, reviewing Dale's Guide to Church Architecture, and how he looks at a church holistically and analytically.

A Quiet Place Spoilers End at 21:30, people!  (Man, we talked a lot about that movie!).

This week, we talk about Kit's self-infliced sting on a dead bee (yeah, it happens folks!), and do a spoiler-riddled Small Talk about A Quiet Place and how good it was.  Then, we get into Dale's definitive list of good and bad churches (Dale-edit - Dale's list of how to look at church architecture, existing or planned, and understand whether or not it is supporting our Catholic mission to know, love, and serve God in this life, and to be happy with him forever in the next).

This week, we talk about the Assassin's Creed movie from 2016 starring Michael Fassbender (aka young Magneto), and about the overall video game franchise.  Then, we have a lively discussion about how the "sausage" of capital campaigns gets "made" (and how hiring an external organization to help you through the process is *sometimes* a good idea).  [And, the Google Result for a Cucumber Gimley.]
