(Snow is a dramatization because it makes it look cool)
I’ve posted at Pleasantville a couple times this fall & only exposed to the loop. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great loop due to distance, carrying inclines, light posts (that are on), benches, etc. But when I’ve thought of Pleasantville I’ve always thought of the amphitheater so for my Q we were going to use it. On Wednesday afternoon I went to scout out the area to come up with my weinke…hopefully I didn’t disappoint.
Weather: A clear 28*.

- Grinder
- Tool Time
- Wingnut
- DiGiorno

I gave the PAX the disclaimer & we were off on a mosey away from the loop on the paved path down to the left side of the amphitheater. We circled up at a plateau by the water…it was very majestic.

I thanked these HIMs for coming out this morning & the opportunity to lead them for 45 minutes of their day. I asked the Sky Q to give us the strength & courage to be the men we need to be in our homes/community. As always any time I Q it’s a humbling experience.
Nino out.
