  • the game before The Game

    YHC and a closely related FNG joined the pax at The Dam, in Columbus, for a gloomy game of ultimate football. A light up football was the MVP, with huge plays from FNG Cracker & YHC and of plenty of penalty burpees for all.

    I’m grateful for:

    1. The warm welcome from Castaway, Jar Jar, and the other pax
    2. The chance to school them on the proper name for a Pickle Pointer, i.e. Alabama Prom Date
    3. The opportunity to demonstrate proper form of said APDs in full view of many cars passing by.

    It was great to hang out with a group of fine HIMs who already understand what real college football is. Kudos to Nancy for the tireless work educating the Richmond pax. Go Bucks!

  • 45 Minutes of Mosey

    13 warriors (including 3 walkers) appeared for a trip through the rough streets of…WestHoe?

    The mumblechatter was strong as we moseyed over to Reveille for Warmarama, where YHC suffered from temporary age-induced brain fog before leading PAX through a 40 count of SSHs and other assorted exercise. Mosey to the Reveille Parking lot for a Triple Check, featuring American Hammers and Squats. Mosey to some other random parking lot for a scrambled 4 corners, with Burpees, LBCs, Flutter Kicks, and Merkins. Wander back to Mary for a shortened version of 11s, with Squats and enough Pull-ups to make a Marine angry. Back to the flag for Numbers and Names.

    Announcements: Hutton is leading many fine HIMs to the Bridge on November 15th, and you should join them.

    Moleskin: As I start my 41st trip around the sun, I find myself filled with gratitude. Gratitude for my M and 2.0s, for the chance to do useful work, and for this F3 community. The last 5 months have been a blessing; and I’m consistently seeing growth in strength and fitness, both physically and more importantly in how I lead in my family, work, and community. Thank you for the challenge and the fellowship.
