Unfortunately, that is not correct.Because of the incredible leadership you all are showing, Breaking Bread is FULL until MAY!! You all have done an exceptional job. I appreciate the continued solid efforts that you and your families make on behalf of these people. I thank you, Barbara (their director) thanks you, and the residents thank you. And, we thank your families. UpChuck

Having been abandoned by all the Breakfast Club regulars, a lone man ran from Early Bird Biscuit to Dogpile in the 20 degree dark. Great mumble chatter, some interesting conversation about Milton Friedman and his take on Keyesian economics, but Hardywood was not there to argue with. Next time.

“It is true that the virtues which are less esteemed and practiced now–independence, self-reliance, and the willingness to bear risks, the readiness to back one’s own conviction against a majority, and the willingness to voluntary cooperation with one’s neighbors–are essentially those on which an individualist society rests. Collectivism has nothing to put in their place, and in so far as it already has destroyed then it has left a void filled by nothing but the demand for obedience and the compulsion of the individual to what is collectively decided to be good.”― Friedrich Hayek, The Road to Serfdom 1944 14 warriors rose…

It was so cold, I started a minute early, before Dial-up showed up. He found us. He found us because he could hear the crunch of the frozen grass on the football field as we did SSHs. Did I mention it was cold? As in 18 degrees. As in colder than it typically is in Charlotte, from where I used to be. Despite the cold, it was a great day for a workout. As always, it is great to have a group to workout with. No fart-sacking with these guys. Despite the lack of a disclaimer, no injuries, even on…
