Another fantastic morning at Shawshank. Thanks to the pax for coming out and making the block party a success. We’ll get a little better and more creative with the blocks as we move forward. Ya gotta start somewhere. YHC enjoyed the “expert level” #mumblechatter today and the shenanigans were aplenty. Thanks to all for the hard work and a SPECIAL THANKS to BlaBla for making it out for a 6:00 am 4.5-mile stroll through Lexington. Great work today and please come back to visit as possible. Also, thanks to Ken Doll for picking up my tab at coffeeteria. Good man! For those of you participating in the #10KMerkinChallenge… the total merkin count for the day was 225. Go home and knock out 100 and call it a day.

  1. Thanks, Ken Doll. A little tight through the shoulders today, so I believe they served their purpose. From what I hear, we may be getting all kinds of toys for Christmas at Shawshank. 2015 is going to be awesome!
