YHC has a real soft-spot for the Wall AO. I co-Q’d the site with Mothman in 2018 and it’s also where I VQd in early 2017. But beyond the sentimental, it offers a lot of options given the various courts, the circuit around the AO, picnic tables, etc. So today I wanted to put most of that to use.

11 PAX showed up in total expecting music. Unfortunately, this was going to be a good old fashioned beat-down. Or as Marky Mark put it on slack. It was a “well rounded workout”. :-).

BOM

I jokingly posted that today we’d be focusing on LOVE while the Mustang was intent on focusing on HATE. But I thought I decided to (somewhat) carry that theme into BOM but focus on the positives over the negatives in life. We’re all guilty of mornings when we wake-up and our thoughts immediately go to what we need to do and running through a mental checklist of responsibilities (work, home, whatever). But I challenge PAX to instead open your morning with thankfulness. Being thankful for your life, your home, your family, and for everything you have. It will set a positive, optimistic tone for your day. Aye.

Moleskin

• The PAX failed miserably on my single question test about the 80s classic movie Karate Kid. The leader of the evil Cobra Kai dojo asks his students a sequence of questions and there is only ever one answer. My attempt to illicit this answer from the PAX fell completely flat. Here’s the clip
