6 hard men showed up ON TIME to prove to these youngsters now that running uphill both ways can be as easy as 1-2-3 on 1/23. 2 more showed up late and ran right past us while we were warming up. I guess I don’t count loud enough? Fortunately Luthor stayed back to intercept them and bring Spud and Marlboro to us. Unfortunately he didn’t give a shit about that mission and even though they were right behind him, he came back empty ass handed. Remarkable. 

We went on quietly warming up in secret at the rehab center parking lot where we never go.

MOLESKIN

We are pretty much all dads in this group, so it’s our job to bitch about school being cancelled or delayed and tell lies about how we used to walk to school in this weather uphill both ways. Today I made honest men out of us, so go tell it on the mountain. 

I have been thinking about it for hours now and still can’t figure out how Marlboro and Spud ran right by us, or how in the hell Luthor came back empty handed. One thing is for sure, this group can never go hiking on a glacier with Catfish. Shameful. 

There are things I like. And then there are things I love. One of the things I love is great F3 debates that can never be settled. Although everyone knows that Grover would truly destroy a 125 lbs female UFC fighter, for some reason we still argue about it as if he couldn’t. Today a new one was born that has plenty of meat on the bone. Could Catfish score a point in an NBA game? Once again, unlike you haters, I believe in my boys. Of course he could score 1 point in an NBA game. I’m prepared to argue that all day on Slack, so let the great debate begin! Thumbs up for Yes, thumbs down for No.
