30 pax (1 fng) touched down and unbuckled from their hang gliders on this seasonal windy morn hoping the wind would continue to be at their backs for the next 45 minutes. For the most part it was, but what happened on the plastic tundra can only be blamed on the wind…we cannot be that bad!

Moleskin:
What a privilege and honor to workout with the men of F3. Oozing gratitude for every man of F3 that I’ve encountered over the last 9 months…you’ve made me better. Lots of mumblechatter from Cadre Geoff groupies during the BBSU/Heel Touch as the excitement was palpable to not have a Seal (#respect) in their ear or a Ruck on their back as the Walks of Bear and Crab loomed. I will not be submitting an application to the Macys Parade for our Rockette routine as no one needs (#unthankful) to see the 2 minutes of horror of alternating legs from the pax. All man cards are secure and thanks for humoring me as we hummed to Ol Blue Eyes’ “New York, New York”…left…..right….left….right. Over the last 10 years; the Detroit Lions have averaged just over 18 points on Thanksgiving games. After 9 minutes, our best team kicking from the 15 yd line; we could only muster a team best of 5 made FGs (15 pts) as team 2 bested team 1. However several onsides kicks were recovered. Whether it was the wind or a slightly deflated pigskin; Tumbler will soon be looking for redemption as his Scuds were reminiscent of Saddam’s volley during Desert Storm. The competition and mumblechatter (score 4-4) were great as the PAX agreed to extend the time as we knew that a flurry of made FG loomed to get us to 7 but that was not to be and the event was called in sudden death style as 5 pax had to get their Turkey Trot on. Motown Lions hung one on us.

Devotional
At the end of the announcements I challenged each man to appreciate and respect the people in front of them today and put their phone down and be engaged and intentional in their interaction with family and friends today. I need to do a better job of this and listen to my M when she requests this. Hopefully coming from a man, the pax will heed the advice and try it…even if just today.
Announcements
