10 hard-chargers sallied out on a positively delightful, late-December morning at Berean.  Airstream and Possum compared Commander Fan Club credentials at the start (both credentials are seemingly questionable based upon their mutual slumber while their team battled an overtime victory), andRare appearances by Frontier and Shadow added to the delight.  Strom scampered to the launch pad in the nick of time.   Despite not-so-subtle hints about possibly starting later, Shake “rolled in hot” for a nearly on-time departure himself.  Cubicle rummaged around the place and arrived fashionably late in his fashionably summer attire to join us up by the rock pile.   

Having strengthened, cardio’d and mobilized, we adjourned to coffee where we did some Monday Morning Quarterbacking while learning the hitherto unknown story of Frontier’s lifesaving locks.  The arrival of the ManMakerMondayMurphers only added to the glorious morning.  Alas, the party was ultimately dispersed by the arrival of the infamous leaf-blower brigade who also had a late holiday start at 7:04 am.  

‘Twas as fine a morning as a man might hope for.  Good job to all. 

Goat sends.
