  • PAX: Whoopee, Def Leppard(Respect), Ash Pond(better not), Pizza Man

5 Nomad PAX ventured out to check out Latta in Metro. We loaded up in Pizza Man’s burban, hit the road and the mumble chatter started. Many of the things said on these trips are probably best left out of a BB. However some wisdom is shared. This morning there was much said about the struggles of raising daughters. All present had at least one. It’s good to share these experiences with one another. We are all in the same “fight”! We talked about current issues and lessons learned. It was said that raising a daughter is like 3-1 compared to raising boys. That makes 9 kids for poor Whoopee!

Once again we met another great group of guys. Very welcoming and excited to have us out. I noticed during the workout(when we could breath) there were a lot of get to know you conversations between the PAX. I especially enjoyed what someone misinterpreted Ash Pond’s name to be. The Latta AO is Latta Park in what I believe is the Dilworth neighborhood. Nice park set in a nice older neighborhood. I really like the old craftsmen style homes and this place is full of them. It’s also conveniently located near CMC Main and a terrible parking deck. After moseying to the deck I was shocked at the ramps. I mean these things look like hills on the BRR and the first thing we do is NUR up one! The NUR seemed to be a favorite of the Q. From the top of the deck there is a great view of uptown which you could enjoy as you NURRED(?) some more. According to the tracker we did 3.1 miles. Most with a good bit of elevation change. A good beat down all together.

COT:  Alcatraz who knows Whoopee from the early years of doctoring reminded him he was coming up on his 8 year anniversary of having had colon cancer. Awesome that he cares enough to remember. Of course due to the name Ash Pond was called it sounds like it would be something he would keep up with(sorry had too)! Announcements were made and they respectfully asked one of the visitors to take us out. Thanks Def Leppard!
