Introduction

I showed up at the Colosseum around 4:30.  Full of excitement for my VQ.  I knew the temperature was in the mid-40s which isn’t bad.  Man, once I exited my vehicle I realized I didn’t factor in the wind.  I needed to return home for a hoodie and hat.  A quick meeting with site Q and PAX started to create a very large circle.

Being a good person is not something you are, it’s something you do; it’s something you have to do again and again every single day.  Your moral character cannot skate by on what you did yesterday.  We are what we do every day; there is no bank of good actions you can withdraw from to cancel out your missteps.  Hold yourself to high standards every day.  Aye!

Naked Man Moleskin

I have the privilege to have my son Yanni and two of my brothers, Jellystone and Dr. Fauci, a part of F3.  This is great for motivation, but it is almost better for the laughs we have at each other’s expense.  We talk now more than before.  Usually, it’s while we commute to work in the mornings after a post.  They had jokes at my expense leading up to my VQ.  The best one came from Dr. Fauci, who edited a Wiki page and added “F3’s Ron Swanson’s VQ 2020” as one of the greatest maiden voyage disasters of all times.  Too bad, he chickened out and took it down.  While discussing my VQ on the way to work this morning Jellystone and Dr. Fauci decided that when I messed up my first Imperial Walker, I went for a hillbilly, I looked like I was doing the truffle shuffle.  Jellystone’s VQ is tomorrow and Dr. Fauci’s will be soon enough.  Don’t make it too easy to get back at you.
