Greetings, gang. It’s Friday. CPI? Done. PPI? Done. Retail sales? On the way. Economic warfare? That’s a thing. OK, hit the deck. This morning we will do 25 four-count push-ups. On my command you will begin. Begin… One, two, three… one. One, two, three… two. You get it. You’re on your own to finish the set, or at least do what you can do. Everyone does something to get the blood circulating. Fear? Fear is but for the wicked, so let the wicked tremble before us.
It is I, Sarge. This is “day two” of this “other than for good reasons” filling in for Dougie who will be out again today. I will do my best to be Earl Morrall or Jeff Hostetler and still lead the team down the field even with the star QB on the sidelines. So, it is. So let it be. Good morning. God bless. We rock. Because it is who we are, and because our honor shall remain forever clean, we are always faithful. Say it with me. Always Faithful. Now, let it burn in.
