WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, Windmills, Crawdad’s arrival (not an exercise, but certainly a ritual), BACs+OHCs, reverse and repeat
THA-THANG:
We took the Moseytown train up to the old Rockpile (RIP), where midnight elves had created Blockhenge. We tore it down and beat our arms and shoulders to death. We crawled like bears, we ran like I guess Bernie Sanders would if he could, we lifted CMUs in every way we could.

Moseyed over to Grinch’s Hill, which honestly is way worse than Hardship Hill. We were raising money for Operation Enduring Oatmeal, which is a charity that tries to get Jinxy’s order right at Panera. Squat and Merkin 11s. Proton swept us to the Cloud.

Rusty is a math genius and just for us, he invented a new way to concieve numbers and counting.

Box Baby Boxes at the cloud, followed by a visit from Jack freaking Webb, whose superpower is changing the density of air. He does not make it lighter I’m afraid.

We took Skunk Alley to Cardiac and by then it was time to take it to the house.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The body is only a garment.

How many times you have changed your clothing in this life,

yet because of this you would not say that you have changed.

Similarly, when you give up this bodily dress at death you do not change.

You are just the same, an immortal soul, a child of God.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda

 

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose; all that we deeply love becomes a part of us. – Helen Keller

 

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”– George S. Patton Jr.

We need to talk about those significant people in your life because they made us what we are, if they are gone, we need to honor the legacy and pass on how they influenced each of us.  Talk to your families about relatives past. It shows respect and honor
