Hospitality is Optional?!

Hospitality is Optional?!

QIC: Cherry Pie

Date: 02/14/18

PAX: Splash, Redeye, Burlap, Mongoose, Quiver, Drama Queen, Bulldog, Balco, Prospector, Zima

Many moons ago YHC accepted a warm & very personal invitation from Zima to Q at Mayhem.  While not Cherry Pie’s normal Wednesday AO, he accepted this kind gesture without hesitation.  After many long weeks of anticipation, D-day finally arrived.  Admittedly, YHC came in a little hot (0528) and without AO familiarity, but based upon the warmth of Zima’s aforementioned invitation, Cherry Pie naturally expected a more hospitable pax.  Negative…apparently that pattern was full!!  One comes to expect a little spit and vinegar from Mongoose, Bulldog and even Burlap…BUT Drama Queen, Redeye, Balco…Prospector….???   Y tu Brute’ !!  Thank goodness for Splash & Quiver who, by comparison, were quite charming.  The actual beatdown went something like this….

The moral of the story is this….the Mayhem pax ain’t afraid of grunting out some reps, BUT don’t expect ’em to take it sitting down.  If you’re an outsider like Cherry Pie, bring your thick-skin.  Truth be known, they’re a tough bunch.  The Q did not allow much down time & the pax took it in stride.  Yhc was honored to be in the midst of this bunch.

Announcements

• Public service announcement from Burlap – today is Valentine’s Day & “there is still time”
• Sunday, March 11th – family lunch at Samaritan Ministries.  Ping Cherry Pie with questions.

Yhc took the pax out, sharing gratitude on this Ash Wednesday for Jesus, our Lord & Savior.

AYE !!
