‘Crotch Crickets’, a tail by ‘Dickens

Seemed a show was in town, as I was approaching the chatter you could feel the intensity increasing.  A lot of HIM’s, glad I’m not running the show today.  Why; the Q would need to be strong, vibrant, maybe even in shape.  Possibly one that posts frequently.  And certainly not one who spent all last week sick.  I secretly excreted internal merlot realizing that I am the one stepping in the middle.  No worries, it’s like riding a bike, right?  We’ll see…….I call out 2 min’s til gametime, Nantan let’s me know it’s more like 30 seconds.  Off to a great start………………….

Mosey to the first picnic shelter

Arrived, still alive.  Round of Lindsey’s or Forties.  30 dickens (oh man, did I really just say that?), I mean derkins.  Sort of putting the pedal to the floor on all that F3 guy loneliness thing.  At that point I had to chase half the group down as they were looking for Whoopee  begging him back for a repeat Q.  Okay guys, I meant Derkins.  Quickly forgiven, 30 Derkins and 10 dips.  Finished, mosey to the road and back.  Rinse and repeat increasing/decreasing by 5.

25 derkins / 15 dips:  Zombie walk to the road

20 derkins / 20 dips:  Bear walk (really?), bear crawl to the road and back.  Full disclosure, I was probably the only one who could not make it.  Finished by bear walking.

Modify:  10 derkins / 30 dips

Mosey to the Concession area:  It’s here I realized that I had nothing written down on the weinke that I did not even have!

Mosey back to the parking lot.   Mosey back to the concession stands.  I felt really bad for dissing the concessions, so we did a round modified Mary’s using imaginary coupons.

On your six, first exercise is Homer/Marge.  Wait, add stirrups to the lineup, we now have modified homer/marge, open crotch/feet in stirrups beginning position holding your six inches (um…….feet above ground).  I’m confused how I kept everybody with me as I reflect back.  So many, (10 I think) in cadence.  10 Big Boys oyo.

8 homer/marge open crotch/feet in stirrups in cadence  beginning position holding your six inches (um…….feet above ground) – 20 LBC’s oyo

8 homer/marge open crotch/feet in stirrups in cadence beginning position holding your six inches (um…….feet above ground) – 20 American Hammer’s oyo

Mosey to the parking lot.  Okay men, count off 1.2.1.2.  Good, okay 1, 2, 3…..wait wait.  Start again, 1,2,1,3…….what?  Flintstone corrected our ignorance, somehow we got to a 1 team and 2 team.  Even with 12 of us I think there were more 1’s than 2’s.  Anyway, group 1 hold a merkin plank, group 2 run around the island.  Swap and repeat.

Round 2, Group 1 holds an Al Gore and group 2 runs around the island.  Swap and repeat.

Round 3, Group 1 holds their 6 inches (um, feet above the ground) and group 2 runs, you get the routine.

Round 4, Group 1 holds a downward stirrup feet spread squat while levitating their butteth in the air, basically crab plank, group 2 runs and so forth and so on.

Nantan sounds off the 10 minute alarm…….

At the bottom of Martha’s parking lot we start a mosey back and forth for space ultimately culminating in at least four to five mosey and sprints at called distances.

Time nearing, one round of dora, partner 1 back to homer/marge and partner 2 runs, Rinse and Repeat one time.

I’ll meet you back at Martha’s.

Time for one round of LBC’s (I think)

Wisdom/Knowledge and Insight for those struggling or going through tough times

It was quite intimidating walking up to the group today.  Though I’ve stayed active my posts are way down.  Same excuses, and it feels great to stay in bed.  Like Flintstone says, sleep is overrated.  Every time I post I would agree.  Today was special because my focus and concern was to be a HIM for those who came out to support me.  It was an overwhelming amount of appreciation I felt for this group of HIM’s.  Thank you for posting and the opportunity to Q.

Honored to lead, even if it was from behind.
