Click here to read Sonny’s sermon from this past Sunday. It’s a sermon post, so I won’t say anything about that slackass being too lazy to copy and paste his disclaimer from last week’s post to the post this week. Still, it looks like it was pretty good. Along the cancer lines, you’ll remember my (and Teresa Lynn’s) friend Chuck Towne has a son (Chase) who has beaten cancer (for now, at least). Anyway, go read his sermon and then come back to see what I did last weekend.
As you know, I went to Myrtle Beach last weekend (actually, North Myrtle Beach… there’s about a 2 hour difference when my friend Michael is driving) for Ross’ bachelor party. I had a blast. Here’s a rundown of what we did:
First we __ _ and then we after that we decided to have a cab take us ___ __. We then got back and ____ _____. Oh, I almost forgot, there was a great story from the ride there when ____ ____. But back to our time there, on Saturday we ___ _________. I can now check off “Ride a ski lift to a golf course” from my bucket list. But I digress… We then _____ _____________. Some of the things we talked about during the game included ____________ __________. Danny (yes, that Danny) was sad. But still _________ ________. On Sunday ___________ ________. We got home around __________ _____. I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but like I said, I had a blast.
Below are some pictures. Note, some classified information may be blacked out on some of the pictures.

| What does the inside of a jail cell look like with the lights off? Haha... just kidding (as far as you know). |
 |
| This was Ross before the drinks got to us... |
 |
| Ross on the golf course... We told him not to worry, married guys always get to play golf whenever they want. Sucker. |
 |
| Michael... screwing up my shot of the lift that we had to ride. |
 |
| If the sun wasn't so bright in this picture, you could see the course was pretty nice. I've seen better... but I've also see a lot worse. |
 |
| Going back to the parking lot... |
 |
| Danny (yes, that Danny) promised Ross' future brother-in-law Matt that they could go throw the football on the beach if he (Matt) ate all of his veggies at dinner... so I took a few pics (of the beach, not them) while they were out there. |
