The Moleskin

 

Mr. Holland, Frogger, and Tantrum – I will catch you for Mary at the next Q.

FNG-1 = Tantrum 2.0 / Guy Smiley

Tantrum was very adamit that we completed the Low Flutters that I missed on the Ladder.

I challenged Guy Smiley to race his father (Tantrum) back to home base.  If he won, I would buy him ice cream for breakfast.  Tantrum didn’t participate so I ended up racing him back.  Tantrum then didn’t allow ice cream.  Guy Smiley settled for a cookie at NY Bagel.

Mumble chatter was at a 3 on a 1-10 scale.  Somewhat disappointing considering the number of times I messed up counting / halting an exercise.

Great to have Jersey Boy attend from Bailey Road Park.  MQ’s agreed to swap AO’s for a weekend.

PAX discussed a RR10k and then a stop for coffee on the way to BRP for a Saturday beat-down at one of F3LKN’s original AO’s.

Jersey Boy advised that the only reason we had 10 + 1 was because he attended The Estate.  I feel as though he was insinuating he is the F3 be-all and all PAX are better in his presence and thus follow him through-out Huntersville / Cornelius on a daily basis.

WELCOME BACK FROGGER!

Jersey Boy took us out in prayer and closed with reciting every verse of Let There Be Pease On Earth taking me back to my childhood where the song was sung frequently during Mass.

Thanks to all that attended, and thank you to Rooter for giving me the opportunity to Q.

Aroo!
