This evening, at the respite center sponsored by Daily Planet, three culinary crusaders, known in the streets as Oyster, Boberry, and yours truly, embarked on a mission not just to fill stomachs but to warm hearts. Armed with a Honey Baked Ham, courtesy of Boberry, we served not only love by a feast, complemented by loaded baked potatoes, green bean casserole, and the fluffiest Hawaiian rolls this side of paradise. As we laid out the feast, the room filled with an aroma so enticing that it could make a grown man weep with joy. Our 11 guests were treated to…
Spending New Year’s Eve contributing to breaking bread for individuals that need love, kindness, and support the most this holiday season was significant for me since I spent a majority of this year on the receiving end of that same kindness with a sick child. 2023 was a year that was nothing short of the bring you to your knees type of humility that life will serve up to you from time to time. In my case, it was when my 2 month old daughter, Liv, was diagnosed with high grade glioma brain cancer on 1/13/23. Along with that diagnosis came…
Wildcat and Heist, fitness warriors with hearts as strong as their bodies, decided to bring a unique twist to their usual workout routine. Instead of doing burpees, they lifted the spirits of those less fortunate. Armed with pizzas, cookies, and salads, they marched to a respite center, ready to spread joy. As they arrived, the aroma of warm pizza caught the attention of the homeless individuals. Wildcat and Heist, clad in their fitness gear, began distributing the food with genuine smiles. The contrast of indulgent cookies and healthy salads offered something for everyone. Antoniette, initially skeptical, soon found herself drawn…
F3: Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Fall is upon us and the cold months of Winter will be setting in before you know it. For many, life is comfortable, warm, and stable, the choices we have made along the road have led us to right here where we are being called upon to lead in a world that desperately needs leaders to step up and take action in the community. Officially Starting November 12th and ending December 30th, the men of F3 RVA are being…
For the last few years, YHC has decided to give back during his birthday week (46th birthday was on the 22nd, btw!) This year, 8 fine people were served Minced Pork BBQ sandwiches, cole slaw, hot mac-n-cheese, pototoe salad, cupcakes and tea. All were most appreciative. One resident asked for seconds but was shutdown by the lady in charge because of his blood sugar levels! He wasn’t too happy. This is one one my family’s favorite things to do and one of F3RVA’s most important. BE THE LIGHT!! Tomorrow, EF Hutton has the honors. F3RVA is filling them up this…
Setting a record on “The Mountain” a hearty 16 gloom warriors from all over the Carolinas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Virginia climbed aboard Day 2 of the DTH pain train. A handful of yesterday’s FNG’s solidified their membership and the PAX also welcomed two fresh FNG’s for a taste of F3 glory.

6 men of purpose united for an evening of suds and buds. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the 17-year old evaluating the PAX’s driving skills, the following might have happened: The PAX assembled with 2 F’s in mind: 2nd F: Beers with your buds; 3rd F: The ante for attendance was bringing food for Feed More. Roughly 100 cans or can-equivalents raised, at least according to Handshake’s amortization curve, which itself is experiencing negative convexity.
With the menu all planned out and all the ingredients bought for dinner for our friends at the Daily Planet on Sunday night, I was ready to cook up the meal for 10: Baked Spaghetti, caesar salad, bread, and cookies for dessert. Then I happened to see Mr Roger’s backblast from what he brought the night before: Baked Spaghetti, caesar salad, bread, and cookies for dessert. I guess great minds think alike? Anyway, Oyster said it was no big deal, so one of my 2.0s and I brought the meal and it was joyfully welcomed despite the repetitive menu. If…
