December 26th, 2019 By Othello

You guessed it, the Q never showed.  Othello sent out a “reminder Q schedule” notice the day before only to have the Q respond that he was going to show, even in the rain!  Excited, Othello races towards the park after a week long vacation of eating and just being lazy.  Well, there’s Bluecrush in his car (waiting for the Q) and there is Big Tuna in his car (waiting for the Q) but where is the Q?

We all wait in our cars a few more minutes while the rain comes down harder and harder.  Still, no sign of the Q.  0525, we exit our cars, fist bump each other and say…where’s the Q??!! 0530 rolls around.  Now, we always have the option to get mad, leave, maybe even go to our local eatery and put the feed bag on in protest, not us.  We look at each other, determined to be better men and hold each other accountable.  “Peoples Q?”, Othello asks the group.  “Yep”, they replied.  So…..

Othello does a lousy disclaimer and the three of us head towards the the nearest shelter for a little…

Q-less Moleskine

1. Strong work by all men.  We may have left out a few additional exercises here or there but who cares, at least we posted, and didn’t go to the food trough, AYE!
2. Good discussion and chatter this morning.  We all agreed the three of us need to get our families together for a “Seven Fishes” Christmas Eve eat-fest in 2020!
3. TAP’s for our wounded Pax.
4. Prayers for our “No-show” Q.  Where was he? Oh, he fartsacked.  The old, “I must have turned my alarm off and didn’t realize it” excuse (Bull$h^t). Ha!  Happens to everyone brother, don’t sweat it.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our entire Mint Hill AO!
