Stahlke Adoption

Paul writes after receiving a large box of toiletries that we shipped to him.  He had specified that deodorant is allowed, but not antiperspirant.  We also included, at his request, two lacrosse balls.

Dear Dad,

Thanks for the letters and for the care package, it was good to get it. The deodorant is the Army’s idea not mine it’s because they want us to sweat, and antiperspirant won’t let us sweat.  The ball is to play wall ball or push up ball.  It’s a game we came up with, you bounce it hard to someone in a big circle and only bounce one and they have to catch it with one hand, if it’s two or they drop it or go for it but change their mind they have to do 10 push ups and every 5 minutes we go up 10 push ups.  It gets pretty intense.  I also use it to roll out sore muscles, which actually works really good . . . .
