Mumblechatter from the Gloom:
- Hitch’s paternity leave is going great and appears to consist of naps, daydreaming business ideas, having Swirly install a gas fireplace log and haunting Facebook Marketplace in search of potential SCCC Implements of Woe costing <$1 per pound of weight (shipping included). Won’t someone just play Sally Struthers and pass the hat some morning at COT so we can buy the man a kettlebell and be done with it? For less than the cost of a cup of coffee …
- True story: Hitch had never seen a blade of grass before coming to America, couldn’t even conceptualize a machine such as a lawnmower. Now, he’s dreaming up startup businesses — many of them apparently tortilla-adjacent — and refusing to let Upchuck in on the Friends & Family round. The American Dream, baby!
- The question came up, apparently by way of curious pax in Houston: Why is a shoulder push-up called a Carolina Dry Dock? The answer (as with so many F3 oddities): Because That’s What Dredd Called It.
- Dogs, many of them in neon harnesses, were being walked in laps on the field adjacent to the track. F3/K9, perhaps … No word if they were doing Tabata in between.
- TAP for MFaceplant and MTYA.
We’re here every Monday at the cushiest track in metro RVA to start your week off right. Join us — I’ll lead next Monday, then turn the reins over to anyone who wants to take a shot.
