the Return of Another Brick and The Wall
QIC: Drama Queen
Date: 11/10/2020
PAX: Boomerang, Schneider, Total Recall, Ziggy Stardust, Drama Queen - special appearances by Huckleberry and Greenspan
It had been a busy weekend followed by a Monday out of town. Therefore, not a lot of time for originality or creativity so how about an oldie but goodie.
Goofy had put this idea in my head a few years ago describing a workout where bricks were carried throughout. I rolled this out at Parliament sometime after my comeback from shoulder surgery so it was time to roll it out again.
Several of the regulars pulled into the lot and then there was a Greenspan sighting. YHC welcomed him to Parliament but I was immediately rebuffed as he said he was meeting Huckleberry for a run. There’s no running at Parliament (unless it’s EC) but they could not be persuaded into a nice friendly beatdown led by a #respect. They promised not to get lost and off they went.
Possibly inspired by their swift movement, YHC then surprised the remaining pax and ordered a mosey to the bricks. Each pax picked out one for each hand and the instructions were simple – hold your bricks during all exercises but modify if necessary.
We then did something like this but not quite in this order

MC was relatively mild. Perhaps because the Q had 2 bricks in his hands.
Schneider had a bad finger so maybe not the best plan for him but as usual no complaints from the elder Perry brother.
Yoga with bricks was a crowd pleaser. Hate those who actually know what they’re doing weren’t there to witness this hot mess.
Ziggy thought my comment “juggling with bricks” when I almost dropped one was another exercise I was calling. #drawingthelineatjuggling
TR was his ever bendy self on the duck walk
Boomerang kept the mc going – this was a repeat of the all bricks all the time workout for him. He agreed it was harder this time but that might be because we are older. #truth
Greenspan joined us around bench time but Huck didn’t make it back until Mary – something about a GI issue. But he wasn’t wearing a uniform when he arrived. We tried to tell you not to run.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Assuming he’s recovered Huck has Q at Mayhem tomorrow
The Estate and The Outhouse are getting back together in January and will meet at a new AO – Sherwood Elementary. Name is Tentative – pax was not convinced that’s a good name.
YHC reported on outing last Thur with Watchmen of the Streets – ministry to homeless of WS. They can use more volunteers. Currently gauging interest. DM me if you would be willing to participate or at least want more info.
COT
Several were lifted up. YHC took us out
Always an honor
