Three sprints – Jordan Norwood races up the side line until Mario Addison – demonstrating speed and hustle (and performing mental calculus on the run to achieve optimal pursuit angle) catches Jordan Norwood for the take down.

Mosey to Picnic Table Pavilion

Dips Tabata

10 step mosey to the Parking Lot

COT: Welcome to Lucky Charm – a Dubliner by birth, Offshore’s first FNG, and a fine addition to the PAX. The naming process was enhanced, as usual, by DK who after being uninspired by the PAX offerings of Joyce, Guinness, Ulysses, etc., recalled his youthful breakfast of choice and singularized same. There was immediate approval without dissent and, despite the FNG’s obvious fondness of the handle, Lucky Charm was christened into F3.

Flip Phone remains in Memphis and the PAX expressed concern as he grieves the loss of his mother. Attila too was missed and the PAX look forward to his return next week.

Johnsonville informed the group of the planning of the Launch of F3 in Virginia Beach/Norfolk area – see Johnsonville for more information and to enlist for Launch assistance. This is an exciting opportunity to deepen F3 roots in Virginia.

Takeout prayer of thanks and supplication.

Moleskin:

Offshore said he heard that GridIron isn’t very ambulatory so YHC decided not to disappoint. Truly, the plan was to include some Pole Smokers on the Diamond (a/k/a by the former pitchers among the PAX as Pole to Poles) but Spring Training was delayed by the locked gate. But with a bevy of football fields at the GridIron it was easy enough to re-position to the WildCat GridIron, stretch the legs, and pay homage to Mario Addison of the Panthers who executed the finest play of the Super Bowl in the opinion of YHC – still amazed at #97 and his big motor. Lots of video clips out there – but YHC just a few weeks ago learned how to add comments to BBs and there is no chance he can successfully do a Video Post to this BB – perhaps one of the Technocrats of the PAX can find one and add hereto or include a link in any comments to this BB? (see eg. http://thebiglead.com/2016/02/07/mario-addison-jordan-norwood-don-beebe-super-bowl/)

DK and Lucky Charm departed the AO looking forward to some youth basketball; J’Ville, White Deer, Offshore, and YHC regrouped at the Daily Grind for some solid 2nd F that included some highly technical discussions about Operations Research, coding, mini-computing, and home brewing.

“A man’s errors are his portals of discovery.” – James Joyce

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
