NMM: Q-school provides us the opportunity to give the PAX a look at how to lead a workout. Choosing our credo as the theme today was not accidental. This credo creates an opportunity for tremendous impact in our lives and in the communities we serve. We show up for the man next to us and benefit as a result, taking another step in becoming #thatsomebody in our homes, neighborhoods, communities and world. How are you living out that credo in your life? It starts with the 2-3 people you will influence today.

Thanks for the opportunity, Pauly D.

School Tour

Commentary courtesy of Dark Helmet:

12 men at The Pit Of Cocks received a generous helping of Italian Jobs.

The Thang:

  • Run 1/4 mile-ish then perform the following
  • 10 Burpees
  • 20 HR Merkins
  • 30 Lunges
  • 40 Mountain Climbers
  • 10 Burpees

Repeat until the hate leaves your heart or until 45 minutes has elapsed…

Moleskine:
The morning began with Liberty rescuing Goose’s hemorrhoid pillow from the parking lot (not sure when that got left there) and placing it lovingly by the flag. Also placed by the flag, was a fat deuce squeezed out like Satan’s toothpaste by 3D’s nutsniffer. Not to worry, like most good dog owners, 3D brought his little doo-doo produce bags and collected the offering to carry with him. I don’t have a dog, and one of the main reasons is that I currently live in a situation that would require me to bend down and collect the feces of a lesser beast. I'm on the top of the food chain. I will not collect feces. Besides, the mighty (though domesticated) canine deserves to leave his castoffs where they lay, so for me to take responsibility to care for such an animal would require me to live beyond the officious reach of an HOA and past the confines of a fence…

Changing subjects, Deep Dish remarked about the amount of sand in the CRHS parking lot and was contemplating how to take his kids there and convince them that it was Myrtle Beach, but with less cigarette butts.

COT: Pray for many men’s relatives, to shoulder our burdens, and to be smart enough not to go alone.

A lesson I learned this week: sometimes career opportunities pay more in dollars but cost more in the things that actually matter. Career trajectory and higher compensation aren’t worth the sacrifice of time with your loved ones. No one on their death bed says, “I wish I would have spent more time at work.” There’s a very good chance your job posting will go online before your obituary.
