PREGAME:
There is so much to experience and learn when we try something new and do something different. My S.C. bro shared with me long ago “Get comfortable being uncomfortable”. That has generally been the case for YHC. Placing Q bets on basketball games tends to push YHC outside the comfort zone; YHC is 2-6-0.
Serving less familiar HIM is not the same as herding a bunch of HIDA you see everyday. Sharing a Q for YHC is definitely unfamiliar territory.
Thanks to White Shoe for stepping up with the Belmont [W] vs Vanderbilt [L] basketball game. Thanks to My Boy Blue for joining in on the fun. As for Franklin, Shame. White Shoe just Fartsacked.
YHC challenges each HIM to continue growing in F3: seek new sites to post AND Q, participate in a CSAUP, go to the Full moon @F3_Werewolf A.O. that travels the Triangle, or Q a location with excessive mumble chatter. They are all opportunities to grow.
With a Franklin FARTSACK, My Boy Blue served up the first half of today’s Olympics inspired Ambassador.
MY BOY BLUE
Run to field for warm up: some very slooooow SSH and then on to some Olympic mountain climbers, plank jacks and good mornings.
