Anticlimactic

And now without further ado, …… before that ….. I realize it’s been a lonnnnnngggg time coming …. Undoubtedly much of Gastonia has been awaiting this moment much as your Uncle Fred with the bad jokes, bad breath and under sized clothes that just won’t depart for other locales ….. he very obviously had overstayed his welcome …… wait !…..was I ever welcomed? Certainly there was some initial controversy from 2 or 3 individuals who pined for the glory days of other names for the workout location. I even offered the site to one who had no interest! And yet, what’s in a name? Does it or any name make the location? Does a particular Q hold more sway than another? Shouldn’t…. We should all be equal ….. including supported.
Certainly, I hope and pray that Dirt will be  supported and more successful!
Todays workout remained simple ….
Warm up
12 MNC ic
10 toy soldiers ic
19 high knees ic
67 ssh ic ( this was completely stupid …. Out of breath several times …. Many thought I was done …. Much like the Turkey on Christmas Vacation!)

Mosey

54 would be the theme ( or number of reps ) today

Every time after s mosey I’d call for calf raises, lbcs, flutters, monkey humpers, etc

All this based on my birth date and current age

when we return …. Circle up for Mary … and announce that 54 is NOT. The number anymore and launch us into 2 rounds of Mary starting with 5 burpees…. Many exercises Like overhead claps , seal jacks, flutters , Jane Fondles, heels to heaven, scissor kicks….

As I hand the keys over to Dirt, fireworks and a collective sigh can be heard …. 

two final thoughts….. no one should  keep any position too long in order to prevent apathy and  lack of interest/enthusiasm …. There really are quite a number of other individuals, esp  at other locations that need to be persuaded to try moving out or moving up into another role 

lastly, many years ago I listened to a comedian who has an excellent point: why do we pile on accolades for someone on their birthday….. they did nothing more than get birthed into the world…. Indeed they don’t even remember any of that ……however, the mother was there ( we hope) and should remember ( again, we hope). This IS the person to congratulate and that should be the person whose called on your birthdate …. I did this to my mom ( many years ago when she was alive and continued to say thanks over the years …. Her initial response was confusion ….. “ Why are you thanking me, it’s  YOUR birthday!!” Lol

love you,  mom          Miss you….. Stephen
