After-Action Report – December 22, 2025
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
December’s BNO, our 19th year of gathering of the indoor winter season, was held at Guadalajara Mexican Family Restaurant. We enjoyed the company of eleven (10) men: Rick Mann, Carl Crews, William Linton, Octave (new), Don Klein, Dean Cernek, Chad Williams, Tony Knouf, Brian Cumming, and Bruce Hoover.
ATTENTION: Our brother, Stuart Lundh is now in hospice. If you wish to visit, please contact Stu or his wife Jana to set up a time.
Stu: Facebook messenger is probably the best option to reach Stu personally.
Jana: Facebook Messenger is good for Jana as well. Phone: 719-213-8565
Next BNO: January 23, 2025 at G-Mex
For all who were unable to attend, we missed you and look forward to seeing you next month.
Given the choice between a woman and a cigar, I will always choose the cigar. — Groucho Marx
A Very Special Thanks to:
Each man, and his willingness to trust The Circle, shares from the heart and provides support to those in need.
Guadalajara Restaurant for allowing us to eat, meet, and smoke in their back room. They have been faithful friends of BNO.
Jose and Alma, our servers, who always ensure we are well taken care of.
Charlie Clark, who continues, year after year, to provide top-quality cigars – a true labor of love and a faithful servant.
Two are better than one… If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!… Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
It’s Time To Wear The Pants
Note to newbies and first-time attendees: No two BNOs are alike. Each meeting takes on its own persona, direction, agenda, etc. We’d love to see you again! If you couldn’t make it this month, join us another time. You’re always welcome!
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It’s one of the major happinesses. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear. – Aldous Huxley
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor 16:13-14
Charlie
