Gentle Mosey around parking lot. First, but not last, instance of Manhole saying he was ready for coffee. Stretches

Scout Run around the Broga Mat. All agree to buy Body Double some shorts asap.

The Thang: At the BOUNCE HOUSE
Circle up at center court. What made a great effort to get mumble chatter going right away.

Ring of Fire: Q calls directions and all pax shuffle left or right, facing center the whole time. When Q calls “down” do a burpee.

Doracides: Partner up.
Pax 1 does a ladder run to 3pt line, half, 3pt, far baseline.
Pax 2 does exercise. Excercises were 100 jump squats, 200 lunges, 300 squats. Toto proved himself to be a BEAST as usual.
When pax finished, join the Six. Everyone does all the reps, if you finish early, you do extra! Flower Boy was not nearly winded enough.

Knockout: We played a quick game of Knockout. Manhole won!

Musical warmorama to Knocking on Heaven’s Door and Hurt.

What’s the Tea of this beatdown. Die of Death Standard (coupon and no coupon) with Musical choice. We got good muscle exhaustion, no cap. We ate. It was mad fire. Sleeping in is sus, FR. Those folks are mid, bruh.

Moleskin from journalist Kelsey Piper on X:

“My ancestors buried half their children. All mine are alive. My ancestors’ house had a dirt floor. Mine is wood. I have indoor plumbing, I have hot water, I have never in my life hauled a full bucket half a mile and I probably never will. Do you know how rare it is, in human history, for small children to wear shoes? Mine have multiple pairs. I can speak to my relatives who live thousands of miles away, for free, at any time. Video, if we want video. With machine translation, if we speak different languages. The original Library of Congress had 740 books in it. I have more than that. If I run out of books in my home my local public library has 350,000. If I want to take a hundred books with me on vacation, they all fit on a device that fits in my purse. I have heat in the winter and AC in the summer and a washing machine and I have never, ever, ever had to scrub a dress clean by hand in the stream. I can look up recipes from more than a hundred different countries and I’ve tried dozens of them. I ride a clean and modern train across my city for $4, or take a robot taxi if I’m out too late for the train. I donate $40,000 every year to the cause of getting healthcare to the world’s poorest people and even after the donations I never have to think about whether I can afford a book, or a pair of shoes, or a cup of coffee. There is a great deal more to fight for, of course. I hope that our descendants will look back on our lives and list a thousand ways they’re richer. Maybe we ourselves will do that, if some of the crazier stuff comes true. But the abundance is all around you and to a significant degree you aren’t feeling it only because fish don’t notice water.”

I wrote an amazing Backblast. It was funny and clever. I documented the things we did with great style and passion. But then I did not click submit and my phone went to sleep and when I came back to the Slack app, my pre-blast draft was gone.

Moleskin: write and submit your Backblasts all at one time, because drafts are not saved.

Moleskine:
An encouragement to diligent, faithful work with a long term perspective. For me, I’ve seen fruit in leading my kids, leading our group, and taking care of our yard. You’ll have good days and bad days, but focusing on the long term, being faithful and diligent in your efforts, leads to good and gives me encouragement to take on the challenging moments
