Darkness bells

A dark and cool AM. 56 degrees. Willie arrived after I started to worry about being alone for the Sweaty Bells. Willie and I moseyed over to the soccer field for a 2 man deal. Then Jingle and Kong arrived so we were 4. Started with warmups: Halos, Figure 8, …

Ant Hills, Ant Hills Everywhere! Red (Ant) Alert! Hide your kids! Hide your dogs! Hide your ankles?

The Day After F3 Picnic

My family and I had a blast at the F3 Picnic on the previous day. Many M’s and 2.0’s were there. The picnic was a success thanks to all the donations and the set-up and take-down crew. T-claps to all the PAX who were involved organizing this wonderful event. Needless …
