May 6 2022 only happened once and it started off with the right way. I heard this story recently about the famous rocker Warren Zevon. Zevon was dying of cancer in 2003 and made an appearance on the David Letterman show. Dave asked him if he had any different perspective on life based on the fact that his life was really short at that point. Zevon’s response was this “Enjoy every sandwich”. I don’t believe the quote was meant to be flip in any way, but as a guideline to life to remember to enjoy everything even the stuff that seems super mundane. Be present in the moment, gentlemen.

a trio of guys showed up this morning to start off the day in the right way.

YHC was having a VERY busy, stressful week of work, looking forward to Q’ing this morning, but a 5:31 was contemplating returning home to walk our dog for 45 minutes instead when Yardsale zoomed into the AO. Thanks Yardsale! Great mumblechatter this morning on variety of topics, including Hanover County School’s LGBTQ+ policies and how it’s great to be able to talk about these issues with friends who have differing views, just another benefit of F3!
