    MOLESKIN

    YHC is an unrepentant Survivor and Halloween nerd.  Boom, perfect beatdown costume, much more forgiving that the polyester Antman suit or Joker digs, while far less embarrassing than the bunny and wolf ears, though not nearly as funny as Captain Hardywood Sparrow.  TClaps to the literal clown car from SOJ and classy move to leave the ghost flag at home.  Westhoe is savage and merciless and happy to take any advantage in the battle for CSAUP supremacy.  Soundtrack of the morning included tracks from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Gremlins, and we threw in Rockwell’s Somebody’s Watching Me, Thriller, Highway to Hell, and Crazy Train.  The Freaks Come Out at Night was on deck when time expired.  Grateful for this group and doing dumb things to keep it fresh and fun. #MFFFA

    Numbers/Names. 

    Moleskin: I have posted in a few different areas now outside of RVA (Boston, Fort Thomas KY and Cincy). Exercises and sayings are broadly the same. Some are newer than others (Boston and FT Thomas) and feel a bit “F3 HQ. copy and paste”. One thing about RVA stands out, the deep roots and fraternal bond of the OG Pax. Thank you for building it.
