Presents Are Great, Being Present is Greater

December 18, 2017

WHEN: 12/18/2017
QIC: I.C.E.
PAX: nanu nanu, soylent, chum, marky mark, boyardee, bunyan, no money, RG3, dueling banjos, golden pinkie, skynyrd, rambler, duplo, mumbles, griswold, beanbag, topper, yanni, GTL, goat cheese

There were six on the EC pull-up bar, and a total of 20 PAX, that ventured out for an unseasonably warm I.C.E. VQ. (Note to self: YHC wouldn’t recommend VQing when you have nine girls “sleeping” over for your daughter’s 8-year birthday party the night before.) Thanks to Yanni who first told YHC about F3 about a year ago while volunteering at the Thrift Store where YHC seems to recall telling him “I’m not a morning person” and only run when being chased and proceeded to fart-sack for a year thereafter. And canyouhearmenow and topper for finally getting me out there this summer. Haven’t looked back (except when being chased). Here we go….

Thankful to have been introduced to this group this summer and thanks yanni for asking YHC to lead today. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The holiday season is exciting, esp w kids, but there are a lot of people out there hurting and lonely around the holidays. Don’t forget to be present for them. Try to tear away from the phones and laptops and be present for your family and friends and reach out to someone who might need it this holiday.

Grateful for the opportunity to lead you men this a.m. for the first time.
