18 Redwoods, looking for a you v you experience descended on DogPile to see what Gomer had planned – frankly it was up in the air til go time. Contemplated one of three options including the use of some prop rings that Senor Frog was happy to lend to the PAX. According to the vehicle sleepers we work with our antics it went down something like this…

NMS – For YHC, 1k post milestone reached today. Also nearly 9 years of F3 starting at Dogpile on Wednesday this week. Thanks again to Fudd and Hardywood and all the other PAX that kept me around.
Congrats to all milestone makers. Gumbo has also recently hit 1000 posts.
Today we had the perfect 3Fs in balance, 30 min 1st F, 30 min (at least) 2nd F, and 30 min 3rd F.
YHC heard about 30 for 30 and wanted to try it. F3 men lucky enough to have found a good circle or shield lock are used to sharing. Many of us do not: some never share; some run off to real commitments to dogs and kids. YHC sought to create the opportunity to form new bonds within the PAX. Topics:
- Fathers. Not everyone is a father, but everyone has had one. Not everyone had a “great” father; but also not everyone had a “bad” father. Regardless fathers are our first male leaders and they teach us a ton on purpose or not. Today we shared what have we embodied most into our adult lives based on this experience.
Parting thought that has sit with me for a while: all of us have a father that taught us something IN our life. As a father, my children ARE my life – the center of my decision making as a provider. - Give it away. As leaders we should be creating leaders – it’s in rhe F3 mission. The best way is to give away what we have in F3 with all who will give it a listen. Once men are here, we should be about creating opportunities for men to lead. That is invigorating male community leadership.
Get some!
