Moleskine:

–Mermaid kindly filled us in on the history of the burpee somewhere between rounds three and four while the #mumblechatter was still fierce. He’s the resident expert and you can read up on Royal H. Burpee here. But the long and short of it is that everyone’s favorite exercise was invented as a test of physical fitness and the Centurion pax aced it this morning.

–Chelms led the way on the triple nickel as usual, but he came close to being disqualified for a false start. #oldmanstrong

–Our friends up in the Metro region are putting on #TheGoat tomorrow morning, launching at 6 a.m. from the top of the Muthaship. Be there for 3.5 hours of pain.

–Speaking of #CSAUP, save the date for Southern Discomfort on Aug. 1 for a tour of Area 51’s AOs. Look out for more info to come on that.

Thanks as always for the chance to lead.
