“Memory lane”

August 18, 2017

WHEN: 08/18/2017
QIC: NesCafe (VQ)
PAX: Cousin Vinny, Podrick, Boo Boo, Mothman, Boyardee, Rambler, Chum, No Money, Stinky Pete, CanYouHearMeNow? (FNG), Fat Cat, Bean Bag, Goat Cheese, Grunge, ET, The Closer, Horny Toad, Mr. Woodcock, Sussudio, Love Bug, Gomer, Swingline.

Another humid morning in CH with measured relative humidity at 100% by 6:00 a.m. 23 PAX, including an FNG, showed up at The Wall for Nescafe’s VQ. Our QIC quickly disclosed he was frightened of the excitement and somewhat excited for the fright, so he was simply going to take us all down Memory Lane and revisit some of the most memorable chapters written by fellow F3 men in the area.

BOM:

Grateful for the opportunity to lead this great group of men. This was my fourth F3 workout this week in BC. On Monday, Chef Tell spoke about AMRAP in life. On Tuesday, Dueling Banjos spoke about perseverance. On Wednesday, Duplo spoke about growth. And today I wanted to speak about ‘memories’. Fellow Nescafe-ian Garcia Marquez wrote (paraphrasing): “Life is not what you live, but what you remember and how you remember it in order to recount it.” In just 5 months I certainly have a lot of memories of some ‘majestic beat downs’ in F3, some of which I wanted to share with you today. My challenge for you this week is to give somebody something that will make them remember you in a positive way -or better yet, help them achieve something. Until we meet next time in the gloom. Aye!
