Today marked day 1 of 5 for the week of Olive and the many flavors I bring to the table. It was also my 4 year anniversary in F3 (yesterday). More on that to come. Anyway. Today I would say it was more blue cheese stuffed as I wanted to make sure I did not spend myself on day one where I would be forced to Clipboard the remaining of the week. As the Pax rolled in, there was on notably missing who gave an HC the day prior. Where is Kingfish? I personally gave my testimony that there would be no running aside from a slow mosey to loosen up…I mean…I am a man of my word am I not? High 30's light rain was perfect to punch our man card…especially for those seeking cover…No cover today boys…we are men…and some in tights! This is how it all went down so I think.

Arm Circles
While doing the arm circles, YHC took the opportunity to grandstand. Explained my story when I first arrived at MMM 4 years ago and how it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Talked about pain that all us Pax have and the importance of leaning on our brothers…speaking up and asking for help and how we have to help Schneider's family now.

Appreciate everyone who came out to support YHC and my anniversary. Everyone knows how much this group means to me and how everyone has supported me…Forever grateful for all the past and future support…I will always need it. And although yesterday was not about me and remembering Schneider, I am thankful to those that realized being back in that place was extremely difficult…and hearing Tears In Heaven…unbearable. Thankfully, all those brothers in attendence gave me the strength to be there for another brother. Thank you!
Omega appropriately added that if you haven't seen a Pax in a while, reach out, tweet, text, call and do what you can to communicate. They may need us but don't know how to ask. Get the Kotters to come back!
Sadly, I was so distracted that I almost forgot to do COT. Thanks for the #junkpunch. I took us out.
Great work by all…friendly chatter…little complaining. Maybe a little too much lunging but hey…has to hurt somewhere.
Live Life. Own Every Second. Never, Ever Take Life For Granted.
Humbly Yours-
Olive
