* First of all, happy December! We have not fully {read: remotely} decorated, but hopefully within the next day or two, we will remedy that! I've been completely enjoying everyone's coverage of their own decorations as posted on all forms of social media. Very inspirational!
* We are also excited to start reading His Advent: Still His Greatest Gift today. While on one hand, it still feels very strange to me to read my own writing, I really enjoy this tradition with Ryan! Whether or not you have a copy of the book, I hope you'll do some sort of reading for the Advent season, so I wanted to remind you that today is December 1!
* THANK YOU for all the really kind words regarding last week's podcast. {If you missed it, you can catch it here.} It was a scary thing to hit publish on that and then sit back to see what you all thought about it! But you have been kind, and we are grateful. Our work has been well-received, and that relieves us. We are committed to making it better and better every week, so we hope you'll feel we succeeded with that this week! {Please overlook a couple of audio hiccups. Apparently I'm new at running a board.}
* Which brings me to my next point...without further ado, here is our second round at podcasting:
* In one of the stories we tell, there is an opportunity to vote to name Ryan's metal wall-mounted rhino head. {If that doesn't complete your day, I just don't know what will.} I promised in the podcast to post a picture of said rhino head in action as a coat rack, in case this influences your decision in any way. {Name options are found in the podcast.} Here is the rhino head and feel free to vote in the comments if you like.
* I don't intend for every Tuesday's blog post to be devoted to the podcast, but who knows. Maybe it will be. I'm new at this. {Also. I just typed "I'm knew at this." I think that means I need more coffee.}
* I shall now get more coffee.

That rhino is something pretty awesome! You two are too awesome!
I'm going to have to cast my vote for Brutus. Before you gave the options, I had the name Bruce running through my head, so I imagine Brutus is the next best option ;-)
Because I can be difficult like this, I'm going to throw out my own suggestion for the rhino: Ryno the rhino! Get it? Because the rhino belongs to Ryan?? Also, please no on Brutus just because Brutus is the name of the Ohio State Buckeye mascot (he's known as Brutus the Buckeye or something like that) and I'm hoping that you don't like Ohio State football just as I don't. On a fine fall day in September of 1996, just a month or two after I moved to Ohio to attend law school, Ohio State played a football game against Indiana University (my alma) at IU and won (big surprise) and then the OSU fans stormed the football field and tore down IU's goal post. I've disliked OSU football ever since. You know the candy known as buckeyes? I don't refer to it as such (but I do love to eat it!) because it reminds me of OSU football. I know that my dislikes are particular to me, though, so I will forgive you if you name him Brutus :).
Tamar - I have a feeling you are Ryan's new BFF!!
Erica - so far, Brutus is in the lead!!
Maria - You make me laugh!! You can certainly suggest your own - and Ryno is a nickname of his, so that makes a lot of sense! I actually almost titled the podcast "Name Ryno's Rhino" but I didn't. Should have! For as much of a football fan as Ryan is, he does not get into college football at all, so the OSU thing is not dear to him. {Hoping my WBCL people are NOT reading this, as there are several major fans there...}
I followed the link to your book but Amazon says it's out of stock. Do you know of anywhere else to pick one up?
Sure do. Find my husband {probably somewhere near the rhino head} and ask him if he could run out to the car and get one from the trunk. LOL!!!!!
Pookey!!

Great Podcast you guys!! That rhino head looks somewhat dangerous! But, glad that Ryan is so awe-struck with "BRUTUS"!! :o)
My vote is Brutus. Or maybe Leather since the 3 year anniversary gift was "supposed" to be leather.
BTW Stein Mart has non stainless rhino heads. I almost sent you a picture.
Loved the podcast! You all make me laugh. I downloaded His Advent.
I was sitting wrapped in a blanket, beside the Christmas tree, eating chips and dip as I listened to this podcast. And then you spent the first ten-fifteen minutes talking about EXERCISE. Gah.
I still say I was getting an arm workout lifting the chips from the bag, adding the weight of the dip, and then continuing to lift them to my mouth! Ha ha ha!
