- Bowlathon is 3/26. The team has all the bowlers it needs but they’re still taking donations. Beat FiA.
MOLESKINE:
- My first Q in a while. Marathon training and the ankle injury have taken me out of the mix lately but it’s good to be back. With @Gamma throwing down the six-day challenge this week, i felt motivated to make it tough but fun. And if it that wasn’t possible, tough but crappy.
- Saw some funny reactions when i announced the MOTIVATOR as warm-up. Some of you looked beaten down before we even did the first round. That’s why they call it the MOTIVATOR, it gets you primed for the workout whether you want it or not.
- Good representation from the Respects with at least five in attendance. No one out-efforts @TarTar.
- Nice to have @TenCent and @Birdcage back in the fold post-injury. Good to have you guys along to commiserate.
- @SoloCup once again doing the thankless job of rep/form monitor. Caused him to miss some important Q instructions over at the Bullpen but that’s the price you pay.
- Coffeeteria we covered…let’s see here…NFL suspensions, airport food and drink, @Wexler’s new obsession with Ozark, @Birdcage’s toe on the mend, the city-wide phenomenon that is Charlotte FC, NHB (Non Human Being) or maybe it was NRP (Not Real Person). As always you had to be there…
- Tomorrow is Day 3 of the challenge, @Deadhead has the lead and Mother Nature’s ready to turn the tables on us after an easy start to the week.
As always thanks to this group for being who they are.
