On an unseasonably warm but somewhat rainy December morning, The Earl was born. The site is at Page Vernon Park on Hillsboro Street in downtown Pittsboro, and 4 FNGs joined 9 (NINE!) guys who traveled south to help us launch. YHC wanted to show the guys what the site has to offer, so we moved around downtown and the governmental campus a good bit.

By the way, The Earl refers to William Pitt, the Earl of Chatham, for whom the town and county are named. He was (of course) British but was a staunch supporter of the American Revolutionists. More history in a future BB. On to the workout…

COT:

Holiday party, 12/15, at The Stroud. 6p until.

This morning we tested each other, grew stronger, found fellowship. Let us take that into the day and share it with those we encounter in our families, jobs, and communities.

There is traffic around downtown Pittsboro in the mornings, even at that hour. The aural traffic was also high: roosters crowing, clock tower bells ringing, and … cadence count.
