10 angry bears came out of their caves this morning to rage against mother nature as she continues to relentlessly refuses to allow spring to sprout. Somehow during a post bear crawl mosey mumblechatter session, it was inquired as to what a bear might look like with no hair, a la fuzzy wuzzy. Thanks to the research diligence of one Mr. Utah, now we know (see pic). Turn out for St. Baldrick’s on Sunday at 1:00 at Lynnwood Grill to find out what J. Utah, F. Disk and C. Li look like with no hair, hopefully better than the bear…. Here’s a bulleted recap of what went down this morning at True Grit, other than pondering some of life’s grand questions:

‘Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.’ -Calvin Coolidge
Moleskin:
- Congrats to Howard for a very succesful launch this morning of the new FNG friendly workout ‘The Forge’ at Pullen Park. In order to maintain overall marketability for F3 Raleigh and increase efficiencies via elimination of redundancies, True Grit is no longer FNG friendly, ever (figuratively of course, new dudes always welcome, just warn em). Come get your iron sharpened.
- Thoughts and prayers go out to our brother Money Hose as his boys battle the flu . Hope everybody feels better soon bud.
- St Baldricks – 1:00 – Lynnwood Grill – 4/7
- Lots of FNGs popping up, F3 Raleigh is getting legs, it’s all of our responsibility to keep it moving. We all know what this is doing in our lives. We all know a man who could use it. Tell em all. We need them and they need us.
