Eastertide Greetings, Gentlemen!


Our namesake, Nicodemus (contemporary of Jesus, Pharisee, member of the Sanhedrin), appeared in the Good Friday lectionary and didn't say a thing.  But sometimes actions speak louder than words, and HE WAS THERE, along with Joseph of Arimathea, to attend to the body of the One crucified for us all. By now, you know the rest of the story!  A HAPPY EASTER SEASON TO YOU ALL!

We'll be laid back and on the road tomorrow  at an earlier time.  I hope you can join me for an early brunch/lunch -- tomorrow starting at 11:00am -- at the new West Oak Coffee Bar on the north side of the downtown square!  We'll sample their culinary wares and enjoy the robust conversation and laughter you've come to expect!

Hope to see you at WEST OAK COFFEE BAR, on the north side of the Denton square, at 11:00 am tomorrow!

Your Scribe,
PRDunklau
