Picking up the beer in Georgetown

This guy helped us pick up the large beer donation from Pabst for War Stories and Free Beer. 

He. Was. A. Delight.

Sunrise in DC

Good morning!

Unsurprising.

It should come as no surprise that the GBs I work with are not as vocal about emotions as I am.  They do not gush about friendship, love, feelings, Beyonce and Jay-Z's relationship, etc.  They do tolerate me 

when I do all of those things, which I appreciate.

So here's Brian. A man of few words, who lives in the mountains with many mystical things. 

This is the birthday email-exchange between him and me last year. 

Snowburning with Lovely and Lou

Yes, there are a lot of spreadsheets and email campaigns and analytics. But there are also days like this. 

Brief trip to Boston

GORUCK is growing. A lot. Which is great, but sometimes (a lot of the time) I miss when we were in one place.  Last week in Boston - we were there for War Stories and Free Beer - I got the chance to catch up with some of the guys I don't see as often these days.

War Stories and Free Beer: Boston

Updates from the Road

Lots to see.

Shooting at Old Glory

I love taking pictures at Old Glory.

Tombs Medicine

Add Going to the Tombs to the very small list of DC things I do/like.

Unglamorous Times

A look at some of the less-glamorous aspects behind the scenes:

How to Hear a War Story

Goodbye C102

I'm feeling nostalgic because this place is on the market and I'll be showing it to some new people this weekend. I hope they appreciate the porch like we did. 

Fuel to the Fire: Winter Camping

Thoreau "went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately." 

A visit from Patrick

Patrick was on his way to Philadelphia and decided to stop by. 

Carlos and the Dog Fight

(It's not a real dog fight. So let's end those fears right now.)

Down to Jacksonville

It wasn't so bad.

Jason's Birthday at Old Glory

We'd been on the road for the weekend, but Jason's birthday was calling, as it is wont to do, so we dropped our stuff, changed, and went out.

GORUCK Challenge DC

This summer, the GORUCK Challenge came to DC.

Out with the Wolves in NYC

 The Wolves are the guys I work with. They are SOF (Special Operations Forces). They are not SEALS, ask them they'll tell you.

Lou Speaks and Devin Does Too

We were in Philadelphia for Trek, so we made a pit-stop at a nearby EMS so Lou and Devin could speak on GORUCK, SOF, etc.
