A+ for effort

Pre:

The day prior, Spokes sent a reminder that the next stop at the parade of horribles was due for its next stop at little ol’ Lenoir’s own Prison break workout and asked who this “Hold” pax was. Hanger let everyone know that it was just the latest spelling of “Hanger” and waited for the HCs to come in…and waited some more when only two came in. The pax wanted to wait and see how comfortable their bed was at 4:30 before making any rash decisions.

Swinger felt it necessary to send us a picture from Mexico so now I hate him because I’m jealous  I’m very happy that he’s having a great time

Hanger, actually a few minutes early this time, pulled in to find Bismarck’s SUV parked in its usual spot. Thinking that maybe Bismarck was sleeping in the back, Hanger pounded on the windows and jumped up and down on the bumper, but was embarrassed to be found doing so when Bismarck returned from his daily marathon. While waiting on the other Pax, Hanger pulled out the blocks from behind the church–wouldn’t want to waste any time once we began. 

As the Pax arrived, grabbed their blocks, and circled up, they could barely contain their excitement. “Yay! Blocks!” one of them said. Another: “this is the best day of my life!” and still another: “OH MAN, I LOVE BLOCKS!” **

Hanger gave a short introduction to his own lack of training, strength, and, in fact, ability to count.

WOD: take criticism, but take it from the right people

Friar led a prayer.

Short discussion on spitting F3 Foothills and having Lenoir, Taylorsville, and Granite Falls become their own region in order to facilitate growth north of the river.

Moleskine:

I’m not sure if there was actually very little mumble chatter (not very likely,) or if my inability to breathe caused me to be unable to hear what was going on around me (much more likely.)
