The shovel flag was planted as the PAX of 22 gathered at Pullen Park for the weekly jaunt. Finally a morning above 40 degrees for a change. Yesterday’s unofficial state holiday celebrating the ACC tournament inspired the following.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor Frankl
Moleskin:
–T claps to Plebe for a great set today, for some reason having him around makes things more fun. Different and difficult=excellent. BackBlast doesn’t read like a lot, but YHC feels differently.
–Great seeing Linda back in the gloom the past couple of weeks. One of the Raleigh originals is back, and we’re all better for it.
–Spartan Race next Saturday: Too late to commit, too late to de-commit
–Go Ruck it! May 25th in Raleigh, see our local esquire White Shoe
–Convergence with Durham at Umstead Park under construction, stay tuned. It will happen, just may be a different date.
–Prayers for a speedy and healthy recovery to FloppyDisk, isn’t the same without you.
–The above picture does not reflect the attitude and beliefs of F3. It does however reflect the attitude and beliefs of such PAX members as Fazio, Au Pair, Plebe, Ron Burgundy, Pac Man and The Jet (for City Council!).
