Mastodon Mastodon Bootcamp

AO: Mastodon
Q: Samsonite ,
PAX: Endo, Jailbreak, Falsetto, Big Mac, Too Big To Fail (TBTF), Samsonite, Mr Roboto, Stock boy FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
WOR: Motivators, Abe Vigodas, Copperhead Squats, Batwings

The Thang: Life is Unpredictable: So Thang 1: we count off 1-8. Run the small loop with random stops where a number is called. That PAX chooses an exercise that we do either spitoon style or Ring of Fire style to 57. (Why 57? Random.) Soundtrack: Top Hits of 1969. (Why 1969? Random.) Thang 2: We mosey to the shop. Musical Doras with Table Lifts, BBSs, Step Ups, all to various songs entitled “1969.” (First, who knew there were so many songs just called “1969?” Second, why 1969? Random.) Thang 3: Freeze Tag. The three “its” easily conquered the hapless prey. (The one “it” was dying but he was the Q so he created two more “its.” Magic!) Why “Freeze Tag?” Random.

Moleskine: Life is unpredictable. We really don’t know what’s coming tomorrow. As the Christian Scriptures teach, “You make plans, I will go to this city or that city. I will trade and make money. But your life is a vapor, here today and tomorrow gone.”

So what do we do with that? Focus on those things in front of you. Cherish what is here now. Be mindful of what you can control today and be faithful in those things.

COT: Mr Roboto’s friend facing the dissolution of his marriage; Falsetto’s son taking next life steps, Some Third Thing.

Moleskine:
Watch Wake Up Dead Man on Netflix. It’s as good a sermon as you’ll hear at the movies. Here’s a quote from the movie’s main character, a priest:

“You’re right. It’s storytelling. The rites and the rituals. Costumes, all of it. It’s storytelling. I guess the question is, do these stories convince us of a lie? Or do they resonate with something deep inside us that’s profoundly true, that we can’t express any other way except storytelling?”

If/when you read the Bible, let that sink in.

COT:
Manhole’s friend, jobs, Mr Roboto’s friends

10 penalty burpees for the Q as everyone drives away.
