It’s Classic Rock.
It’s Eggs & Bacon.
It’s Hot Dogs & Baseball.
It’s Fireworks.
It’s that first girl you kissed.
It’s Atari’s Asteroids.
It’s your Mom’s home cooking.

It’s The Forge.

COT:
Mentioned to the PAX two pieces of inspiration:

1) Stumbled across an old photo of our man Franzia in the 1983 West Millbrook Middle School yearbook–president of the Weight Lifters Club. He saw the light on this fitness thing long before most of us, clearly. And he was a handsome cuss.

Still is!

2) Proverbs 15.22 – “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed.”
Seek help when you need it, men! From the Lord and from wise folks in your life. You weren’t meant to struggle through it all alone.

That is all. Tuck, out.
