The men of Shawshank enjoy a good workout to increase their #betterment. This morning for 10 PAX was no different. It was cold outside and the ground was frozen but that didn’t stop the hard work or the mumble chatter from these guys. Always enjoy getting out to some of the other AOs and meeting …
YHC wanted to do a really tough workout for his 45th trip around the sun. However, had to change the gameplan at 8:00 last night as I read the weather report. Decided to keep the pax under the shelter, and as expected Coon Dog immediately complained that there would not be any running. But to …
2020 has been a year to forget in many ways. In other ways, it has been a year for remembrance. Highlights of 2020…I got a new pair of shoes, new socks, and a rockin’ Shawshank hoodie. Lowlights of 2020…masks and, as I found out last night, World of Beer in the Vista is closed. Well, …
YHC indulged a bit on some bad food all week last week and has been trying to work it off ever since. Christmas Eve was met with a Special Ops soldier who visited Shawshank and nearly made YHC toss his cookies, so that helped. Ken Doll basically did the same thing on Saturday. The goal …

2 years ago, Doc Luvin’ and I were talking in my driveway. He said “whatcha doing tomorrow morning at 5:30”? My reply, “I don’t know”. He told me to be outside at 5:15 and he would bring the coffee. That is the extent of the EH’ing me for this thing called F3. We showed up …
It was a beautiful, clear morning at Shawshank. Constellations were bountiful, the air was crisp, and the fellowship was off the charts. Some of the finest men around showed up, pushed each other to get better, and provided some support for a 5 year old boy who is putting up the good fight. 4 pax …
One thing you can count on is mumble chatter at Shawshank. YHC is guilty of it too, so it stands to reason that when the PAX get the chance, they are going to let him have it. YHC wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for the accountability and brotherhood, men! Here’s how it went …
The morning started off like most mornings…alarm, personal time, get dressed…then something strange happened. An encounter with Argyle and it went something like this. Argyle: I’ll be less grumpy if we stay dry today. Well, the challenge was met. We stayed dry at Shawshank after a night of rain. Argyle was pleasant throughout the festivities. …

Lego has been the AOQ of Shawshank for the past year. During this time, we battled through virtual workouts, bought swag in multiple colors, and had a solid COP in February. All in all, a great year. Seriously, Lego is a dude with a solid heart who helped me talk through a couple issues when …
