8 Dawgs showed in the cold, icy, snowy gloom to Embrace the Suck… because that is what we do.  We never show up thinking its going to be easy.  We show to get stronger and to become better men.  It is always going to suck, so we might as well embrace it as Rerun witnessed to YHC during Tuesday’s cruise.

YHC signed up to Q on this date weeks back, because it would be YHC’s 1 year anniversary at the Dawg House.  One year of doing many things that sucked, while learning to embrace that suck because YHC needed all of it.  Big thanks to Hokie Pokie for Q’ing that 1st beatdown a year ago and also for sharing the details, so that eight strong Dawgs could relive many parts of it this am.  It went something like this…
