COT: Numberama and Counterama and Takeout Prayer by Cecil. Refreshment (fellowship) at Einsteins.
MoleSkin: No blood, but plenty of sweat was deposited at the Grassy Noll.
Somehow the PLTs seem easier with a Portuguese count – thanks to DarkHorse who the PAX welcomed back from his home by the Fountain of Youth. He arrived in RVA at nearly midnight but scoffed at Cecil’s offer to sleep in. Now having no choice but to post, Cecil celebrated being on the cusp of GrandFatherhood by behaving beastly on the Four Corners. Blessings to and TClaps for DarkHorse, MDarkHorse, Cecil, MCecil and Sully.
The other guys – each with his unique KB panache – pushed through a second KB workout in 49 hours. FlipPhone, in particular, threw weight around this morning with laudable efficiency – strong work. MumbleChatter quickly yielded to the quiet of heaving breathing punctuated by the all too familiar cacophony of disturbing emissions from WhiteDeer and Attila. Johnsonville was very quiet – angry, hurt/injured, both?
Following his strong VQ at Circus Maximus, ChumBucket informed the PAX that he would be absent from the GridIron; not so NightCrawler to whom WhiteDeer and Johnsonville called via FaceTime to learn that NightCrawler and MNighCrawler were driving north on I95 for a day at the Preakness. Not properly attired for Burpees at the Rest Area, NightCrawler promised to perform The Black-Eyed Susan curl AMRAP at Pimlico, and MNightCrawler wisely agreed to be the SouthBound DesiginatedDriver.
Two of YHC’s nephews were commissioned as 2LTs over the last two weeks, the most recent yesterday at UVA. Both ceremonies were joyous and sobering. Welcome are prayers that my nephews will be blessed with the spirit of courage, strength, and determination. And, of course, please pray for God’s watch care over all the young men and women heeding their call to duty in our Armed Forces.
Matthew 14:27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”.
