ER’s s’posed to be hard

This past Saturday at Whipping Stick, YHC was chatting up Abraham as we moseyed between heavy things he was having us lift, and one of the core tenets of F3–definitely a favorite of Abe’s– became a subject of debate.  The Hickory PAX has heard him say “We don’t get up for easy,” almost as many times as we’ve heard him say “merkin”, and frankly YHC isn’t entirely on board that train.  I’ll get up for easy.  Gladly.  Most Saturdays, I’m at Whipping Stick for breakfast afterwards and the off chance that Ultimate will break out.  Therein lay my dilemma in preparing to Q at ER because everybody knows, ER’s s’posed to be hard.  Hope it worked out.
