  • Strong group today – solid mumble chatter and Toxic was …well Toxix at about the 30 minute mark
  • Apparently eveyone is still in Quarantine mode and refuses to listen as we repeated directions many….many times…
  • Lots of good mumble chatter – too much to cover here and the work day awaits.   So best quotes are all I got today:
    • 'Hey – can you turn the other way' (Other person turns so ass isn't in his face 'Thanks'
    • Multiple rejoinders of 'Thats what she said'
    • 'My teenage daughter really liked this song'
    • 'You trusted me, but didn't really trust my counting' 'I trust but verified – so yeah'
    • 'You said you were going to kill the mumblechatter – good luck with this crowd'
