Just gotta say: YHC usually feels a bit nervous before Qing, and even more so this morning after not having Qed for six months.  This morning’s combination of “inclement weather” and the good humor of our PAX was a true grace, in that it shifted my attention away from anxiety around my performance as the Q to the shear ridiculous joy of trying to bear-crawl a straight line after rolling down a muddy hill at 5:45am…what can be more fun than that?  To the 9 PAX that shared this misadventure with YHC: thank you.
