Spreadsheets from the Gloom:
+ Hitch wants everyone to know that it’s getting to be pickleball season. Bodos wants to remind everyone that he and Oyster are the reigning champions of the entire RVA region (not just WestHoe).
+ If you’ve read the bestselling (among guys who get up early in the morning to work out in The Gloom) literary masterpiece “Freed to Lead,” you might know that the work of Robert Putnam (author of “Bowling Alone”) on the critical importance of social connectedness in healthy societies was influential in the development of F3.
On Monday, 4/28, the Doswell Operating Group is joining forces with local news startup The Richmonder to sponsor a screening of “Join or Die,” a documentary about Putnam and his work at the historic Byrd Theatre in Carytown. Afterward, I will be moderating a discussion about the film with director Rebecca Davis and Richmonder founder Michael Phillips.
We’ve set aside 25 complimentary tickets for F3 pax and their guests. To reserve a seat, just fill out this form and select “I am with an event sponsor” under the Ticket Source section.
+ Bodos is looking for a good free tabata timer app for his phone. I have this one, but I think I paid for it. ChatGPT seems to think this is the best free option. Anyone else have ideas?
