Eight tennis novices made it out on a surprisingly cool morning to take their turn at tennis fails. It was epic. Epic fail.

Almost cold enough this am for the glass cutters. Such a welcome weather surprise

All exercises today after the first rep became “typewriter optional”

Oktoberfest had a few late nighters while in Asheville earlier this week. Oh, it was Nashville?
-
We did a silent count during Mary for the benefit of the hearing impaired

Can you please not make sex noises during the exercises? It makes it really difficult to concentrate. Thanks in advance

Ankle/heel taps exercise invariably leads into a discussion of grabbing ankles which then quickly devolves into discussion of human interaction experiences while incarcerated. We've seen this playbook before, and will definitely see it again.

‘Twas quite the gaseous crew today. Does not bode well for chili cook-off in Riverbend Saturday night on Brighthouse Lane

There were a few tennis fails today. Somebody dropped a deuce on the baseline that almost managed to clear the entire court. Q’s timer may have given out on a few of the last reps. And Q’s instructions on the bear crawl / crab walk may have been slightly less than clear.

Great work men!
