13’s for my 39th

Preamble:

QIC recently celebrated 39 years of gracing and disgracing all encountered. Considering that 39 conveniently divides by 13, the magic number was set for today’s adventure. Due to significantly lightning and the rumbles of Thor overhead, we wisely made our way to the lower parking garage for the BIRTHDAYS celebration.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

When my kids asked me if I was having a birthday party for my birthday, I immediately said yes, at F3. Nothing better than celebrating another year of life. I have everything I need and enough of what I want. F3 has brought a piece of life to this birthday that makes it much sweeter. Thankful for these men, the ability to get a little stronger each time and becoming a better leader.
