CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Significance of 35 and Jazz music- Anniversary of my son Grady (F3 @ Quikrete) passing is Dec 13, he would be 35, he taught me to like Jazz music

Bozo Circus was on WGN starting in 1960 and ran for 40 years in various formats. The ball toss game was called the “Grand Prize Game”, the prize amounts increased with each successive ball in the bucket, the grand prize included cash and a bike, but was rarely won. If you would meet Bozo in any setting in 2023 it would freak people out and he probably would not be accepted, however back in the 1960s til 2000, he was a celebrity, kids wanted to be on his show.  Today, I am pretty sure his sight would scare people away. So, its important to not make quick judgements, first try to understand the situation and background before you pass any judgment, try to meet people where they are, especially in difficult situations and don’t rush to a judgement, criticism, advice (if not asked), or try to be the smarter one.

Tag Team Q

AO: the-farm
Q: Choir Boy , Aladdin
PAX: Aladdin, Choir Boy
FNGs: None
COUNT: 2
WARMUP: I took the warmup.

THE THANG: Aladdin took the first part. Run the big loop clockwise – 1 burpee at each light pole and 10 dips at each bench. That worked so well that we did some more when the Q came back to me, but this time 1 squat at each pole and add a squat for each subsequent pole until we hit a bench, where we did 10 incline or decline merkins and reset our squat reps back to 1 to build again from there. We had enough time to do a third lap – 1 imperial walker at each pole, minus the bench exercise.

MARY: LBCs x 50, flutter kicks (4 ct) x 25

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence 1/20, Triple Hit Totty Q on 1/6

COT: The BOM was pretty much the mumblechatter the entire workout. Parenting is hard, and kids just don’t understand (DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince had it backwards).
