Not listed above: Flashdance (I regrettably failed to find out how Flashdance received his name)

Some men were in Kentucky chasing Bourbon. Some were at Grand Oak and in Wilderness territory "KICKIN' Cancer" in honor of Grace (who now looks down on us all but with just as big a smile) running the second annual 5K. But 6 men heard there was no Hall Monitor and a substitute teacher at Isotope, so they went to school!  5 of those were present when the bell rang. Moses joined us a few mins tardy. Here's the syllabus that was written but never handed out…

The Academic Moleskine:

Great fun subbing for Hall Monitor – I haven't been to BRP in a long time and it was an honor. 

Moses was ahead of the pax by a stride or two as we lunged down the path and was in deep conversation (with himself?) so did not notice when I hand signaled the pax to turn and Bear Crawl back up the path. Moses continued a good 5-6 more lunge strides before noticing. 

Thank goodness there were only 6 of us – that early pax plank with rope rotation woulda been brutal with any more!

The tunnel of love with uphill crawling was a slight audible but I liked it and it will be used again! 

Many funny and inappropriate things were said and heard. Chime on in.
