At this point YHC could sense he was being a bit hard”core”, so he offered to call an audible to the Pax for some block work or core continuance, for which they gladly accepted blocks (However, the reason could have also been Gambini’s song selection that was playing at that time).

Moleskin
The final playlist consisted of:
-Easy Lover (Phillip Bailey & Phil Collins)
-Footloose (Kenny Loggins)
-Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley)
-Jessie’s Girl (Rick Springfield)
-What’s Your Name (Skynyrd)
-Lose Yourself (Eminem-clean version of course)
-Pony (Ginuwine)
-(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life (Bill Medley & Jennifer Warner)
During this time many Pax thought about doing the running dive into air plank that our M’s have always dreamed about since they first saw Dirty Dancing. However, that requires a lot of trust on the receiving end (plus a disclaimer had already been called). Alas, we will never fully do it the quite way that Johnny did anyhow, so our M’s can just keep dreaming (or practice with our 2.1’s). Just remember, “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
Congrats to Drebin for his 2nd recent Q. The “V” is officially gone now. Also, be on the lookout for Beave who we are encouraging to take his first VQ too.
I think Dingo and Big Montana really wanted to do more core.
Gambini and Estwing helped formulate the playlist. Perhaps this should be a lesson to the other Pax to also make recommendations next time.
Thanks to Estwing for lending me the keys to the AO today. It was good spending time with all of you fine gents. I had the time of my life.
Until next time,
Toby
(aka Tobra Commander, Tobra Kai, Tobi-Wan, Teletoby, Tobias, Tobadia, “Toe”bee, etc.)
