Retail Economics 101

Five pax, including 4-time returning champion Oyster, made a dow-painment on their membership dues at the St. Christopher’s Country Club on Monday.

The Thang:

  • Tabata #1: SSH / IW
  • Hot Lap #1
  • Tabata #2: Alternating Leg Bulgarian Split Squats
  • Hot Lap #2
  • Tabata #3: Alternating Shoulder Lawnmowers
  • Hot Lap #3
  • Tabata #4: Plank Rotation (Regular, Hand Taps, Elbow Taps, Shoulder Taps, Hip Taps, Knee Taps, Toe Taps, Elbows)
  • Hot Lap # 4
  • Tabata #5: Alternating O/H Press / Triceps Press
  • Hot Lap #5
  • Tabata # 6: 4 Minutes of Mary
  • Hot Laps #6 and 7

Mumblechatter from the Gloom:

_ Hitch showed up unfashionably late, so much so that he missed the first Tabata set, the first hot lap and half the second Tabata set. The update on his quest for an Implement of Woe is the prices are holding steady on FB Marketplace. Some of the pax suggested a visit to Play It Again Sports on Broad.

_ Faceplant revealed that he once bought a pair of softball cleats at PIAS only to have to return them. He was surprised when the store declined to buy them back at the same price the sold them. An explanation of Retail Economics 101 ensued.

_ A lot of talk about pickleball this morning. Apparently, Hitch and Bodos failed to defend their Church Retreat championship over the weekend, a result that was blamed on Hitch showing up to play in hiking boots. We were all grateful he showed up in running shoes this morning …

_ More Hitch: Apparently, he wants to learn about American football. Can I propose a field trip to Saturday’s 2 p.m. clash between UofR and Towson at Robins Stadium? I’ll pay for Hitch’s ticket if anyone else wants to join, particularly anyone who went to a real football school.

I am surrendering the steering wheel and opening things up to other Qs next Monday; Faceplant has offered to take the first shot; others should feel free to sign up.
