About Us

We're two guys — Woodward and Vehige (rhymes with "Peggy") — who get together every other Thursday for dinner (gumbo, if we can), a movie, and conversation about everything from theology to pop culture. We decided to start this blog because we thought our discussions were just too good not to share with the world. You can read more about us and our blog here.
