Merry Meet & Merry Part-y
Yesterday afternoon I met up with my friend and fellow Chick-Fil-A afficianto Tony and we made the trek down to Redondo Beach, CA to enjoy a nice meal together at Chick-Fil-A …
… before making our way around the South Bay Galleria Mall together afterwards. Since he had a party to get to last night, we parted ways and I headed over to my friend Mike’s place for his annual Xmas party. It turns out that we weren’t only celebrating the coming holidays but we were also celebrating the news that my boy Mike just made partner at his law firm! Here are a few pics of some of the folks who made it out for the soiree last night:
Mike, as usual, put out a great spread of amazing eats and we had a great time hanging out, catching up and celebrating his amazing news. We had a blast … and amazingly, partied well into the wee hours of the morning. Twas fun, twas fun.
There are a couple options on the table for tonight but I’m not sure what I’m up for. I was thinking of just going to a movie … not sure at all. It’s kinda gloomy out … not as warm either. Mebbe I’ll just end up with a blanket and a book.

The site is 7digital.com BUT they no longer allow sales to US customers due to copyright restrictions ;( They have a US version of the site now but it offers nothing you can’t get from iTunes or Amazon.com.

“Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy is a devout Southern Baptist who has taught Sunday School for over 44 years and whose religious beliefs permeate the company to this day. The company’s official statement of corporate purpose says that the business exists “to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.” The chain invests heavily in community services (especially for children and teenagers) and scholarships. Cathy’s beliefs are also responsible for one of the chain’s distinctive features: All Chick-fil-A locations (company-owned and franchised, whether in a mall or freestanding) are closed on Sundays.
“ Our decision to close on Sunday was our way of honoring God and directing our attention to things more important than our business. If it took seven days to make a living with a restaurant, then we needed to be in some other line of work. Through the years, I have never wavered from that position. „
—S. Truett Cathy [6]
The religious organizations to which Truett Cathy and Chick-fil-A have lent support include such groups as Focus on the Family. Groups researching financial support of religious groups have noted that Truett Cathy is one of the largest corporate sponsors of politically active religious groups in the US, largely through grants from the Truett Cathy Foundation but occasionally through direct sponsorship as well or through partnership with other foundations that are major corporate sponsors of politically active religious groups.[citation needed]
Chick-fil-A has promoted religious groups via toys and CDs included in children’s meals, much as movie studios promote new movies via McDonald’s Happy Meal toys. These have ranged from including toys from the Christian television series VeggieTales in children’s meals to including Financial Peace for Kids children’s books by Christian financial guru Dave Ramsey and CDs from the Christian radio program Adventures in Odyssey, as children’s meal incentives. The latter show is produced by the radio division of Focus on the Family, and typically heard on Christian radio stations.
Chick-fil-A and Focus on the Family also have a history of cross-promotion. Chick-fil-A has also sponsored meetings by the group All Pro Dad; All Pro Dad is a group with affiliations with Focus on the Family via a group called Family First; Family First promotes a large number of conservative religious causes, including covenant marriage.”
Supporting Chik-Fil-A is supporting Focus on the Family… you are promoting and supporting a company that worked to pass Prop 8
just sayin…

Chick-Fil-A and gay don’t compute…
Someone else already gave the lowdown on Chick’s founding principles, but supporting Chick-Fil-A is also supporting their beliefs against homosexuality.
