QIC: Fish Fry
The Scene: 34 degrees, and sloppy wet. Definitely not weather for a Fish Fry Q.
Pax: Fish Fry, Shark Week, Bone, Jenner, Elvis, Apollo, 2%, Maj. Payne, Brown Bag, Lucius, Speedo, Sticks
Warm Up: YHC doesn’t care too much for wet cold, so the warm up was really about getting warm. To that end, the warmup was SSH, Mountain Climbers, Mosey, Forward Lunge Arm Raise Stretch, Mosey, Mummy Kicks, Mosey, Calf Stretches on the Fence. Some mumblechatter was picked up regarding Mummy Kicks. Some may not be aware of the throwback to Shaun T and the Insanity workouts. That exercise is a classic. But I digress.
The Thang: Today’s workout centered on feats of strength between Elves and Grinches. The rules are simple. A total of 10 cones were available. The first die roll selected the exercise. The second die roll determined how many sets of the selected exercise must be performed. For each number of sets your team complete based upon the 2nd die roll, take an equal number of cones, which could mean that you take cones from your opponent’s stack. More mumblechatter was had about having to do math in the morning and complications, but YHC powered through.

COT: One of the themes of Advent is the Kingdom breaking through. While parts of it are here, the Kingdom is not fully here and things are not yet as they should be and will ultimately be in the last days. We have a role in bringing the Kingdom into the world through how we acts in our various callings. When we work our jobs well for the good of the world, or create good families, or promote harmony in relationships, we are breaking through. We are to be about something bigger than ourselves and making the world better where we can.
