Moleskin:
The dry weather was a nice change but its bringing with it the colder temps. A few grumbles as we crossed the open field in the first mosey which was severely water logged. With all the lights up and running on the back side of McKee Rd Elementary some of the biggest water hazards were at least sort of visible. Earlier Dredd noted in his #DRP “Today may be your day to inspire your Brother, just as tomorrow may be his day to inspire you.” So with that in mind Partner work was on the docket and all were pushed. Young Love drew the short straw and had to try and keep up with Lobster Roll, tough sledding but chasing a Brother makes you stronger. A great core of steady Matrix regulars today with O’Tannenbaum showing up 4 minutes early and Floor Slapper 2 minutes early, I don’t think they knew what to do with all the extra time so they proceeded with some awkward stretches prior to the start. Franks and Back Office have been working themselves into “regular” status as well and Huggy Bear getting stronger and coming more often. Thanks to Young Love for the closing prayer and inspiration. Always a privilege to lead such a fine group.
