NMS:

• Couldn’t imagine a better way to start a new year than with this band of faithful brothers. YHC especially enjoyed having birth brother “Flint” join us today …right up until after the COT when he led the PAX in the Birthday song… YHC apologizes to Corporate who surely has some form of ban on this kind of boisterous behavior. Apparently Flint still has the uncanny ability to embarrass YHC no matter the age or setting. Some may have thought there would be well over 1000 Merkins today, in order to complete YHC’s grand goal of 9000 for the month…but after a few days of merkin-free Thanksgiving bliss, it just wasn’t in the cards. Oh well, today’s routine still rocked out just over 400 Merkins. And lets not forget YHC’s shovel flag now bears the inimitable Most Merkins battle streamer (+tassles)… so there’s that. 🙂
