Q: Lazlo
PAX: citrus, Spud, Apples, Toolbox, Hobbyhorse, Robo
FNGs: None

He appeared like a ghost walking out of the shadows. We thought Toolbox had gone the way of the Trolley, but there he was in plain sight. Happy to have our brother with us for another month or so, but hoping he gets his move settled easily.

WARMUP: SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies, willie mays hayes, cherry pickers, Moroccan night clubs, Michael Phelps, down dog, WGS THE THANG:
Part 1: Moving Jack Webb. Starting at one goal line, PAX bear crawl 10 yards, do 1 merkin, 4 OH claps; bear crawl to the 20, do 2 merkins, 8 OH claps; repeat to the opposite goal line for 10 merkins, 40 OH claps
Part 2: Musical Dora. Partner A runs to the 40 and back, Partner B does an exercise. Flapjack until the song is over, then change to a new exercise. They were: -BWS
-WWI
-Lunges
-Hello Dolly’s
Part 3: F3 Ultimate. The green team won.

MARY: flutter kicks, American hammers

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 stair climb

COT: Not much wisdom. The Q shared that one of his kids got caught in some shenanigans, and the challenges of parenting. Trying to enforce why rules and discipline matter and generally the importance of not being a moron, while trying not to overreact and potentially do long-term harm to the relationship, etc. If anyone has that figured out, please let me know!
