My friend Robert is currently in the San Francisco Police Academy. He told me that they do a lot of push-ups, for all kinds of reasons, but mostly in the this-will-fix-anything kind of way that boot camps employ push-ups. At CRFW, the analogous go-to exercise is sharpening. Plane irons, chisels, saw blades, it does not matter. We are always sharpening something. Because (lesson #2) a sharp tool is the right tool. And because if something is not going right, the solution invariably is to sharpen a tool. If the guys at Premiere Properties had been woodworkers, Blake would have admonished them, "Always. Be. Sharpening."
Sharpening is dirty work.
