If just one man orders shakshuka with friends, I will have done my job.

Firstly, I am so thrilled that our brunches have been immortalized in a Donatelli post. Secondly I may need to do a round of fact checking here. Specifically, about the women in our lives. I know for a fact that some of these wonderful females have expressed some displeasure about being denied the opportunity to attend The Men’s Brunch. My uncle has led the way in combatting this threat by naming his own gathering “Men Behaving Badly”. This unequivocally ensures that our female counterparts understand what sort of gathering they are asking to be allowed to join and for the most part provides a gentle buffer from this sort of exclusionary criticism.

From your beautifully written paragraph about the support we receive from our significant others, I am assuming that Jen is a saint. The word I most often hear yelled from the other room when adding The Men’s Brunch to a shared calendar I have with my wife is, “AGAIN?!!!”

Secondly…there’s another thread? I’m not sure how to feel about this. I can only hope with all my heart that these Ohio gentleman can’t possibly have as many terrifying fire photos accompanied by the most inappropriate jokes ever committed.

It did my heart good to see you, friend. I hope our brunches someday converge somewhere in the middle around Wichita.

I was not aware! I will think of a more disgusting name in order to cease this rancor. It won’t be hard with this lot.

I should also note that through the years a few wives have popped in for whatever reason. None returned. I don’t blame them.
