16 exceptional men joined YHC in celebration for the latest edition of First Watch. Conditions remained 70 and sunny. According to my father watching over us, the following might have happened:
Mosey to the UofR athletic fields with a short pause for the six at Casa de Saab.
Circle up at the field goal uprights for the COP.
100 SSHs (4 count)
Dead Man Hang (OYO)
Fudd’s Wife
Roaring 20s – one set of 20 exercises for each year he lived in the 20s
Carolina Drydocks
Imperial walkers
Hillbillies
LBCs
Gas pumps
Lieutenant Dans (to remember the accident)
1940s – Dad served from 1943-1946, USAAC/AAF. ETO.
Triple Check. WWIIs, Flutter Kicks, Army Crawl 30 yards.
50s…we tried, and time took this from us. But, 5 burpees, then traverse ~50 yards (in the dark, maybe this was 30).
Variety of options for traversing…wheelbarrows, partner carry (some PAX knew better), Bernie, AYG Sprint, bear crawl, army crawl.
Time was growing short, so Mosey BTTSF, stopping off at Saab’s driveway for the obligatory 20, 4-count Monkey Humpers. If anyone was peering out the window, the got a dog’s eye view of Honeydo’s keister (and everyone else’s).
Numbers, names, and we ate cupcakes and pecan sandies and swigged Gatorade for the COT. YHC gave a note of thanks to this group for their friendship.

Happy birthday in Heaven to Papa Goldman (Gumbo), would have been 87 years young yesterday. And, congratulations to the proud parents of a West Point Cadet. Grandpa would be proud of his son and his grandson.
Happy birthday to my dad, 100 years young today. As the lady said when they gave my mom his flag at Arlington National Cemetery, “On behalf of a grateful nation…” Thank you, Dad, for being a wonderful parent and a patriot for this country.
