Mixing It Up – 2nd Try

In the early foggy gloom of a Thursday morning a group of ten men gathered in Cramerton to experience the Q of one with little practice. It started out with an initial conundrum of who was supposed to be the Q that morning and who was prepared.  Weinke was seen in one person’s posession and Streak looked visibly relieved the responsibility was not his.  Comment was made: “The Weinke was seen in his mouth and it looked big”, and thus further joking proceeded.  Time passed on to the ultimate start and a short disclaimer was given, mostly to not expect a whole lot this morning.

      Thank you to all who came out this morning and joined the group to push the rock again. I appreciate the support from all of you while I learn this whole Q thing.  Even when I demonstrated the intended exercise and landed flat on my tuchus, the concern for my wellbeing outweighed the obvious funny moment.  We have a great group of men and it was a pleasure for me to lead you this morning.

     

March Hoops

5 regulars showed up for my first Q and were welcomed with a doozy. It was a cold, wet, gloomy start to the day yet the real warriors showed up to support one of their own and push the rock another day. Full disclaimer was given and a specific emphasis on myself being an idiot since this was my first Q and I volunteered for it. Gerber came in hot as we were finishing the warm up and caught up to us as we were moseying around the school.
