MOLESKIN
· When Turnpike approached YHC to Q F3 Dads, admittedly it made me more nervous than Q’ing a mob of 30+ Pax with all their mumblechatter. Again, I was humbled by the turnout of Dads and kids that would rise early on a dark, chilly Saturday morning and trust YHC to lead them.
· T-claps also to Turnpike for bringing the additional props for dodgeball and capturing action shots on camera.
· Hope the kids had fun with trivia and appreciate that their collective intellect kept the Dads from doing any burpees.
· YHC may not know much, but he knows that the way to keep kids happy is to bring the donuts.
· Foosball likes her some Dunkin Donuts. And, she was able to pull out a few for her big sister, too.
· Continued prayers for Schneider’s family. Sweet Caroline has a sign-up genius to assist the family with meals over the coming weeks.
· Support the upcoming Operation Sweet Tooth run on March 30th.
· Thanks Blackbeard for the privilege of leading at this AO for the F3 Dads format. YHC will be back in running shape soon and ready to a Q with the Pax.
Aye.
