Quotes from the Gloom:
- “Is this really a stretch? In a stretch, the muscle elongates. I feel like here the muscle is contracting.”
- “You can call it a ‘stretchercise’ if you prefer. Or how about an ‘exe-stretch’? You know, kind of sounds like ‘Etch-a-Sketch’.”
Alas, but this was just a sampling of the incessant mumblechatter brought on by Ice9, clearly an expert in psychological warfare. At any rate, on to…
The Thang

- Grab some wall and do Prime the Pump (Fairly rapid calf raises while steadying self against a wall or piece of playground equipment.) – OYO for about a minute.
- [Note to self: Don’t ever do “On-Your-Own” with Ice9. It gives him way too much time to talk.]

- Jack Webb

- Mosey back to CoT.

Moleskine (i.e., Spreadsheets from the Gloom)
Great group of guys this morning. Really pushing themselves physically and great job putting up with the psychological warfare from Ice9! 😉
