Win some and lose some. This week I said Godspeed to a dear friend of many years, Jason Luther. He’s moving to Florida to pursue ludicrous amounts of insurance money his dream of running his own business. Meyer’s Pride, a roofing contractor in partnership with our old roommate Brien Meyer, gains his singular work ethic and intelligence. Brien gets his old roommate back, and Chattanooga loses one more of my valued friends that I have gained since moving here. Jason, though I rocked your world in Greco-Roman, you’ve been a greater influence, resource, and brother than your wrestling performance suggested.
I mentioned that you win some. If you’ve ever been foiled by Murray Logic, curious about the Gamecocks, or craving some young conservative opinion-shaping, you would do well to subscribe, as I already have, to Manville Tabletalk, Jason’s new blog. Though I’ll miss him as a drinking buddy, at least I’ll still get the quips and absurd videos.

You’re too kind. I will miss you, your lovely wife, and the rest of Chattanooga and its loyal residents. The Weichbrodts have become family, which is why I do not view this departure with too heavy of a heart – family are never apart for long, and they always find ways to reunite. And when we do, you and I will have a go at the old Greco-Roman. I’ve been practicing.
Grace and Peace brother.
