a-hoy

it can be hard to bring people together. in the off chance it happens, it usually revolves around bbq's, book clubs, prayer meetings and field trips.

my personal favorite togetherness activity is sailor jerry. he is the driving force that opens people up to each other and connects them in an everlasting bond. jerry swabs the decks of our hearts and allows us to reveal secrets normally kept in the lower decks of our souls.

there are a few rules to indulging in this magical experience. foremost, you need a big old bottle of sailor. next, you must have shot glasses (you can substitute blue solo cups if glasses are unavailable - this is not recommended). coca-cola classic is the next requirement. you can also get a large pizza, but this is optional.

after you have acquired these necessities, get ready, because you will journey down a wild and crazy path. you may not remember most of what is shared in this magical circle, but it will include tears, laughs, real talk and ultimately - bonding.

this undertaking is not to be tread lightly upon. it is not for the faint of heart. you must be a true warrior of spirit to successfully conquer this endeavor. if you're up to it, your life will never be the same.
