Dry Package Installed

0

When I was in Charlotte and it rained, there was one person who always asked if the ‘Dry Package was Installed’. Today, we installed the dry package and went to the Dave and Buster’s parking deck. Yes, we drove there.

By the way, Jim Thorpe’s birthday (AKA: Wa-Tho-Huk, May 22 or 28, 1887) might be today! Thorpe was an American athlete who won Olympic gold medals and played professional football, baseball, and basketball. Often considered the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th Century.

And congratulations to Lighthouse who got a paper published on the effect of more frequent external reporting of accounting results and short term thinking in business management. (You’ll have to ask him if I understood it correctly!)

Warm-up

  • 20 SSHs
  • 20 IWs
  • 10 Don Quixote

Next, we ran up and down the ramps doing the following (more or less accurate description):

  • 10 Merkins at each turn on the way up
  • 10 Hammers at each turn on the way down
  • 10 Hand release merkins at each turn on the way up
  • 10 Crunchy Frogs at each turn on the way down
  • 10 Shoulder Taps at each turn on the way up
  • 15 Flutters at each turn on the way down
  • 10 Crab cakes at each turn on the way up
  • 15 APDs at each turn on the way down

Ran out of time!

I have read that we are evolutionarily predisposed to be pessimistic because the pessimist anticipated problems (is there a tiger in the grass over there?) and survived while the optimist got eaten by the tiger. As Christians, perhaps we should be optimistic because God is over everything on earth. Maybe a realistic outlook on life is a combination of both perspectives. Something to think about!
