It’s widely agreed that the mark of a good Q is the pressing need to put your shirt directly into the washer because you can’t have it sitting around anywhere all wet and smelling like that. We know this now; this is not a new experience to any PAX.

Today was not such a Q. If Hands hadn’t been training for a marathon he could have just driven straight to work, put a white coat on, and started delivering babies. Cinco (Scott McGuire) picked a rock that was approximately 27% of his body weight, and he still didn’t sweat, except for when we talked about the possibility of getting a chunk of his junk removed at the dermatologist.

Speaking of Matlock (Bill Maddox) , we all play along with the fiction he’s cultivated – that a day like today, without one single step if running or even a SSH, is his kind of day – but I’ve seen him sprint, and I know the truth. Matlock is a gazelle and today was a disappointment for him.

Shoulder Blasters, stretchies, the Carlton. No mailbag, just the area surrounding a melanoma removed and some doctors orders to not run. Merkins and Big Boys followed by rock work, over and over. ATMs to finish up, because my weekend starts tomorrow. Off to see Wham-o (Charlie Greene) .

A fine morning indeed to be out there with you guys. It felt great, lack of running notwithstanding.

Faith can look a lot like abundant joy.

Go get naked for your dermatologist.
