    We returned to starting point and circled up for 1 minute of stretching.

    Moleskin

    We had a special guest from Marietta, GA…Steamer who is a salesman visiting the Richmond area. We were discussing how a sale can quickly get off the rails by a spouse who is not interested or motivated in the product…in this case Pots and Pans, they are not the cook….but want to weigh in for the partner who cooks and not go through with the purchase…in this case, because the uninterested spouse is too drunk to make a decision…ouch. Hat’s off to the salesmen in the world…which is us in many ways, as a good husband, good father, and ultimately and most importantly, ourselves. We matter and F3 continues to re-enforce this feeling. Keep posting gents, as I am honored to lead and will see you in the gloom soon! Cheers….CB!

  • Best Worst Playoff

    Moleskin

    We had alot of mumble chatter with the discussion of the football games this weekend and all stated that both games had a great start, seemed like it was going to be competitive and then flop the second half the tides turned on both teams that seemed to have a command in the first half and poised to close out the game in their favor…not to be the case…hence the Best to worst playoff for the superbowl championship.

    Have a great week everyone and hope to see you in the gloom soon.

    Cheers…CB!

  • Postulate

    We had 2 runners and 4 ruckers this morning for our workout. We met at 5:30 today due to weather delays, and here is what went down:

    Ruckers walked a Giles loop and runners posted about 4 miles today. WE had great mumblechatter about the Wildcard football games, the Iowa Caucus and life in general. Some fun facts came out and YHC had high school memories of postulates as defined in geometry. For a refresher for some home-schooled folks a Postulate is a statement that is assumed true without proof. Like Corned Beef is a stud, Yardsale is an awesome skier, Bulkhead loved being a Marine!

    So, in Math (Geometry) there are 6 Postulates ( I knew 1,3, 4 and 6 had to look up the others)

    1. A line contains at least two points.
    2. A plane contains at least three noncollinear points.
    3. Through any two points, there is exactly one line.
    4. Through any three noncollinear points, there is exactly one plane.
    5. If two points lie in a plane, then the line joining them lies in that plane.
    6. If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line.

    We never really came up with these 6 during our discussion as we were having too much fun with life’s application…Men are pigs, the wife is always right, and some more that you had to be there to appreciate!

    Phonics took us out in Prayer
