The overnight rain storm cleared just in time for 7 undeterred PAX – including 2 FNGs – to find their way to The Thicket, circle up and start the week off the right way.
As the PAX set off into the dark morning, dodging puddles that might as well have been invisible, they lost themselves in the collective effort.
Burt Reynolds (and later Eminem, more or less) said it best:
“Sometimes you have to lose yourself before you can find anything.”

COT
With the humidity, the water rushing down the street, and the not-yet-fully-developed setting, the PAX was in a rural mood and the FNGs were named as such. Welcome to Catskill and Dueling Banjos, who acquitted themselves quite well.
Next Sunday 10 PAX head to the Ronald McDonald House to cook and serve a meal for 40. The adjoining F3 fundraising effort has already exceeded $1,000!
