Follow Your Muse


Seven men came out on a humid morning with an allegedly cool breeze to try and find and then follow their muse. It was very amusing.

  • Muse is the source of one’s genius or inspiration. It is also the spirit or power that is thought to inspire or watch over poets, musicians, artists, scientists or even Q’s

  • Q’s muse includes bricks, situational humor, and the creative and written form of back-blast, among other things

  • While Q advice often includes advice to Pax of doing just as much as you can and not overdo it, SlowRoll continues to strive for extra credit which needs to be acknowledged

  • It’s not a fanny pack, it’s a spi belt, which are way cooler

  • The whee’s became less and less emphatic as the man maker exercises went on

  • Please respect the bricks. Like the US flag, they should never come in contact with the ground, and only in rare cases when doing an exercise that requires them to touch the ground

  • Some good contrast and comparison of Charleston golf courses. Those boys know their way around the Low Country

  • Some Pax are still continuing to search for their muse

  • Twister is going bigger with his next vehicle with proceeds from the insurance settlement. Bigger car = better defense against tea bagging

  • There really are some passionate Taco Bell enthusiasts in the MIL area

  • Come on and get swoll on at Cobalt on Wednesday mornings

  • Now that you are sufficiently enlightened, go ahead and follow your muse

  • Great work men!
