Heavy Shoes, Light Hearts

The rains of the week blessed us with a cool morning and plenty of soggy ground to play with. We started with a comfortable mosey around the clubhouse parking lot that allowed us to gather the straggling PAX who seemingly modified their alarm clocks this AM. Once at a dry …

MARSOC Beatdown

Rudy joined us at the Wolfpack on Friday ostensibly for some uptown fellowship but perhaps he really wanted to ensure the Mothership had an uptown Q for Saturday. Quick Draw had to postpone his Q and I volunteered to fill in.  What to do? In memory of those that sacrificed …
