Moleskin:

I can’t put anything here that hasn’t already been thought or said about the tragedy in Rock Hill.  All I can say is to everyone affected, we think about you often, and keep praying for strength and healing.  If any of you need anything, reach out to a brother.  That’s the whole reason we do all of this.

Block work is tough.  Looking forward to getting stronger so it’s not as bad.

Great to have T-Square and Hushpuppy out in The Gloom at The Sandlot this morning.
