It was several weeks ago at Full Metal Jacket when some Q (I’ll just say Hi Liter or Riptide to cover my bets) called 7’s and in a very respectful and diplomatic way, Callahan screamed out from the PAX that we’re doing them wrong. He continued that 7’s were not just shorter versions of 11. He then grabbed his ball and went home.
Being a good person, I wanted to make sure he was ok so I reached out to him and asked him what he meant and how could I make things right. He asked me how I got his number and told me to look up “Stairway to Seven” on the Exicon and then hung up the phone.
The rest is soon to be Bradford’s Ordinary History.
0540 EC runners come strolling in, and the rest of the PAX gather at the flag. 0545 Off we go. 0546 Callahan shows up.

I know I’m missing something so pay attention to Slack.
YHS took us out with excerpts of Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” but here’s the entire poem
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
