Introduction
Noticed the full moon while driving to The Citadel but he was hiding his face during the workout. Real feel was 16F. Relatively dry footing on the lots. Around 440am I was using chalk to write some instructions on the pavement near the library book return blasting Foo Fighters (sound check) when a women drove in to drop off a book. I said good morning and she did not reply. I could only imagine what she thought of me….

Circle of Trust
We circled up and reflected on the passing of Noonan and then asked the PAX to offer names of those they hold close. Continued prayers for the Noonan’s family, Bump’s family, Toasted Coconut’s continued knee recovery, Rusty’s BIL, Jeff and for a speedy recovery for our favorite Canucklehead, Poutine.
I gave a shout out to Toady, who was a sudden scratch today due to some needed maintenance. I reminded all of a Tweet I saw last week about picking up the 6, not only during workouts but outside of workouts as well. This also includes others…our family, friends, coworkers or someone you don’t even know.
Finished with a positive thought as I saw on Facebook last night that Cold Cut’s niece, Anna Caroline became a big sister as her parents came home with a new baby girl. It was good to see Anna Caroline smiling and her hair was looking beautiful!
