Introduction
Post-Covid attendance Record for Launchpad today
Remember when you were in your early 20’s and you would lift on Friday afternoon before hitting the bars just so you’d look pumped up? Yep, that was today. No girl ever asked me to flex my cardio.

Circle of Trust
COT – 1st Thank you for welcoming me back, missed you guys. 2nd, during my break I’ve had a chance to spend time with some really good men specifically Buttermaker, Ronda Rousey, and Belichek. Each day I feel like I learned more and more from them. But, the one theme that is consistent with each of them is selflessness. It’s about others before themselves and their actions prove it daily. There’s no bullshit bravado, just doing what’s needed to help. I challenge each of you to take a page out of these good men’s books and make your slice of earth a little better than how you found it.
Naked Man Moleskin
Cupcake brought his beautiful dog with him today, a golden lab I believe. It reminded me of the old times with Lucky and Noonan. I still miss him and that infectious smile of his. After the initial sadness that comes from thinking about a friend who passed much too early, I was overwhelmed with an incredible sense of gratitude for all of you.
But I’m still not getting back on Slack, you Savages. You will have to settle for The Fake Nacho brilliantly created and managed by Goldberg.
