QIC: Wait Time
With the sweet sands of Chet Atkins’ “Mr. Sandman,” YHC greeted the PAX on the Stinson Park with very little small talk. After reviewing the disclaimer and F3 mission statement, the F3Omaha Sandinistas launched into a sandstorm with no Warm-a-rama, because in the desert it is not warm – it is hot and sandy.
The Sandinistas circled up on the stage with weights in hand. Two sand bags were located at the entrance of the stage. The Sandinistas did a series of exercises. With each exercise, two Sandinistas carried a 60-70 lb bag of sand to the top of the wall along Center Street. The exercise ended when the Sandinistas returned with the sandbags, and two more men grabbed the bags and ventured to the wall. The Sandinistas cycled through the exercises nearly two times.

COT:
YHC shared the love of building sandcastles when on a beach vacation. I hope my kids never outgrow a willingness to build sandcastles, because it is my favorite part of going to the beach. Building sandcastles is a craft that requires you to detach from what you construct because most sandcastles disappear in 24 hours or less. It is strange how I don’t mind that my workmanship has such a temporary existence, yet it is so difficult to feel that way about other work that I do in life. For people like Picabo (shout out on your new business) and me, we have experienced our professional “sandcastles” being destroyed. The only thing we can do is get up each day and rebuild the sand castle and refine our sandcastle building skills. YHC encourages the PAX to build a masterpiece each day, and don’t let the destruction of yesterday’s sandcastle linger into today.
Grace & Peace,
Wait Time
