When I arrived at Rise and Shrine and saw who already arrived…PVC, Pool Boy and War Eagle…I knew we would have more than the usual chatter for the next 45 min. I just didn’t know yet what would be the topic for discussion. I parked my car immediately next to the flag so we can unload all of the Christmas goodies…medicine balls, heavy ropes and slam ball. Gave the disclaimer at 5:30. Then it started with a Poolboy comment about fried turkey….and it was clear that the entire 45 min would be about food.
