COT: Lessons learned when Q accidently deleted son’s project from his I PAD trying to help him with something that was ultimately unnecessary:
1) Don’t mess with technology or programs you are not familiar with- your kids probably know more than you at this point on technology 2) Don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good”
3) Don’t sweat the small stuff—and nearly all of what we worry about is the small stuff
4) Be humble when you make a mistake- especially with your kids–own the mistake. 5) Forgiveness is powerful
All lessons learned by the Q from his 12 year old son’s reaction to the Q’s mistake!

COT: another ordinary life story about why to pay attention to your kids while they still live with you: I turned off the light at 10:15 yesterday evening because I knew I had to lead the workout. About that time, my daughter started to unwind from doing her homework by playing the guitar and singing just down the hall. At first I thought, “really? We’re starting this now?“ Then I thought better of it, and decided to just enjoy the music as I tried to fall asleep.

PAX: Nano, Pop Fly, Obadiah, Crop Duster, Blue Steel, Doodles, Battleship FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
WARMUP: SSHs; WMH; MP; DB; HSS; Calf Stretch
THE THANG: We all gathered around the unadorned aluminum pole and divided into 2 teams of 3 while Popfly and Nano gave moral (and sometimes immoral – e.g. my garter belt) encouragement. One pax did coupon work on BB court (KB swings, front raise; OH press; calf raises; curls); one pax carried 2 coupons down the trail; and one pax did 🦵 work (air squats; MHs; Dirty Dogs; merkins; Bulgarian split squats) at the bottom of the trail. When pax carrying coupons down trail get to the end they switch and🦵 pax brings the coupons back up to BB court. Continue this cycle until the grievances have been aired. MARY: went around the circle
ANNOUNCEMENTS: ramble on
COT: we all encourage one another and keep each other working hard in the cold, miserable gloom. I appreciate you guys for keeping me engaged and encouraged. Even Obadiah was complaining – it was a Festivus Miracle.

THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap the PAX gathered around to learn the true meaning of Festivus: a non-denominational holiday filled with one sided ridicule and mindless physical tests of strength. Also, there was an aluminum pole. • The tradition of Festivus began with the Airing of Grievances:
The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, a burpee was performed collectively by the group. • As Festivus rolled on, we came to the Feats of Strength:
Track – pair up, each pair took turns carrying the Festivus pole ~100m and back while the other PAX does a high knee skip. • Remaining PAX performs the following until each team returns: o Mountain Climbers
o Soccer kicks
o Star Jumps
o Heisman Shuffle
o Bonnie Blairs
• Pull up bar – 2 rounds, max effort, remaining PAX performs o Spider Man Merkins
o LBC’s
o Dips
o Break Dancers
o Mountain Climbers
o Alternating Shoulder Taps
• 20 step ups, 20 Derkins

MARY: Flutter Kicks, Alabama Prom Date, Nolan Ryan’s
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2023 County Rambler 12/2, Congratulations to Fairweather as he just got engaged!
COT: No matter what holiday you celebrate, real, fictitious, or nothing at all….I wish all of you and your families a safe and happy December and a joyous New Year.
