It was a hearty and vigorous pax that gathered under the lights of Bailey Power Plant this cold February morning. YHC had not posted since January 7 due to various and sundry and it was great to see this group of HIMs this morning. Good to meet Flop and Dr Seuss. Due to 2/1, most exercises were done in 21 increments or numbers that added up to or were divisible by 21. For our warmup entertainment Cheesesteak did a Cirque du Soleil worthy balancing act that Thistle actually copied quite well. Our boy Spicoli popped out behind a corner of the stage just in time for the last of the fast merkins in the ATM. Several Pax wondered out loud how long he had been standing there. LOTS of MC during the WWII/HtoH Super 21. Root Canal mentioned several times how he really didn’t like me this morning but I blew it off until Post Hole told me the same thing in his usual good natured way. All these men pushed hard through this rep heavy workout this morning encouraging each other along the way. For their trouble, each PAX received a piece of bubble gum to celebrate the first Friday of February as National Bubble Gum Day. A day where kids can donate to a charity to chew gum in school. YHC asked that as the gum was chewed later in the day, to think on how we can serve others.
