MOLESKIN:
Everybody was hustling and moving this morning. Great effort by all men present. My apologies for putting you in an area with traffic. I thought we would have beat all the traffic coming into the lot at that time. Drivers are not looking for people lying on the pavement when they are coming into the school. Better planning will be had for future workouts. I had another set of exercises and more Mary to be had, but we ran out of time.
Thank you, Uncle Floyd, for the prayers before we started! It worked because both of my ears popped on the way home and I am feeling much better. I’ve been dealing with a little vertigo issue for over a week, and it is causing more aggravation than problems.
Prayers for Constitution’s friend Steve as he mourns the loss of his father. Prayers for Constitution as he awaits his meeting with the Ortho Doctor. I did not mention it this morning, but prayers for all those involved in the horrible situation in California and prayers for our first responders who put service before self everyday.
Thanks to Uncle Floyd for suggesting The Beach Boys as the choice of music. Nice to have the musical accompaniment to take you mind off the cold and the burn of the exercise
Mt. Afton is this Saturday. Pay attention to the weather as the forecast is for rain. The Fellowship of the Idiots run is February 8. The Gremlin is February 15.
Thanks for playing along. Always an honor to Q you men.
