It’s a Matter of Perspective

Event Date

Mar 12, 2019


An even eight of MIL’s finest came out to provide their perspective with some level of comfort that if they in fact worked hard enough, perhaps they could even change their perspective.  As was made entirely self-evident during the proceedings, the success of these efforts was all based on how you choose to look at them.

Moleskine

  • Sharing time involved the use of an F3 joke outside the hallowed workout grounds with great affect (Cockeyed eyelid transport using foreskin for this scoring at home)

  • This may come as a surprise, but a fair amount of the population just does not always grasp or appreciate this unique form of humor right away

  • It’s a matter of perspective unofficial results have been tallied. “IS?ED” definitively means “I sharted” and not “Is Loved”

  • Need to check with meteorologist Brad Panovich on this, but I believe the low barometric pressure in the atmosphere is what caused the flatulence emissions to linger longer than normal

  • Sorry ‘bout yo’ neck

  • I felt that the “Buy and hold” strategy using bricks today was very effective

  • Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. If you don’t know that then you are likely alliterate (sic)

  • Prayers for Ozzie’s mom who recovering from a stroke

  • Prayers for Arizona’s daughter who is getting her adenoids removed

  • Attached please find a picture collage from the Joe Davis Recovery run this past weekend. Lesson learned – candid race day photos are not very pretty

  • Strong effort men!
